Mandatory face masks

As a reminder, masks are still mandatory for all indoor workplaces. We urge members to review the COVID-19 hub on CREB^®Link to learn more about how to reduce your risk and encourage everyone to wear a face covering and/or mask in all interactions with the public.

A reminder on health and safety

Please continue following existing public health measures to keep everyone safe:

• Stay two metres apart when you can, wear a mask when you can't;
• Practice good hygiene: wash your hands often and cover coughs and sneezes;
• Monitor your symptoms every day;
• If sick, stay home, get tested, and follow mandatory isolation requirements while waiting for results:
  • If positive, isolate from others for 10 days or until symptoms are gone, whichever is longer.
  • If negative, stay home until you're better;
• Avoid non-essential travel; and
• Download and use the ABTraceTogether contact tracing app when out in public.
