Kenora is asking residents to follow all recommended public health precautions:
- COVID-19 vaccines are safe, effective and the best way to help protect yourself, your loved ones, and our workplace from the impacts of COVID-19.
- When gathering indoors with people from multiple households who are unvaccinated, partially vaccinated, or vaccination status is unknown, wear a mask and maintain physical distancing.
- Stay home if you have symptoms, even if they are mild.
- Wash hands or use hand sanitizer regularly, especially before and after eating.
- Get tested if you have any COVID-19 symptoms and if you’ve been identified as a high-risk close contact of a known COVID-19 case.
