Updates on what to do if you think you have COVID-19

If you are sick or think you may have been exposed to COVID-19:

• If you have any symptoms, including a dry cough, fever, difficulty breathing, shortness of breath, runny nose, nasal congestion or a sore throat you MUST self-isolate and visit www.ahs.ca/covid and complete the online self-assessment tool to determine if you need testing for COVID-19.
• Please DO NOT visit a hospital, physician’s office, lab or healthcare facility without consulting Health Link (811) first.
• If your symptoms worsen, call 811. They are experiencing heavy call volumes and will get to your call as quickly as they can.
• Call 911 if you are seriously ill and need immediate medical attention. Inform them that you may have COVID-19.

How to Self-isolate

If you need to self-isolate, follow these guidelines:

• stay home – do not attend work, school, social events or any other public gatherings
• avoid close contact with other people – especially seniors and people with chronic conditions or compromised immune systems
• don’t take public transportation like buses, taxis or ride-sharing, where possible
• watch for symptoms in yourself or a family member

Student Learning During COVID-19

The Government of Alberta recommends that students continue to learn while in-school classes are cancelled.

School authorities will offer at-home learning opportunities for all Kindergarten to Grade 12 students online or through accommodations like course packages and telephone check-ins.

Teachers will determine what content to cover based on remaining curricular outcomes and plan tasks that are reasonable to do from home.
