If you鈥檙e heading to one of the city鈥檚 parks or beaches for聽some fresh air this weekend, the 麻豆传媒映画Park Board has a message for you: Keep your distance.
While there鈥檚 no need for those self-isolating聽to stay indoors at this stage of the COVID-19 pandemic, everyone needs to avoid being in close contact with others in order to prevent the spread of the virus 鈥� even while at the beach or park.听
To that end, the park board is asking everyone to follow public health officials鈥� advice and stay at least two metres, or six feet, away from others at all times. It also recommends visiting its parks and beaches during 鈥渓ess busy times,鈥� as well as limiting the聽number of visits to Vancouver鈥檚 parks and beaches in an effort to allow others to access them.听
Other recommendations include:聽
- Avoiding gathering in groups
- Washing or sanitizing hands after touching communal surfaces
- Limiting 鈥渉igh-touch鈥� activities like volleyball or frisbee聽
- Staying home if you feel sick (especially if you have a cough or fever)聽
Yesterday, the park board announced it was closing its playgrounds across the city immediately, in an effort to minimize public gatherings and the potential of risk to the community.
