As a result of a COVID-19 exposure, the Health Unit is advising patrons of Scotty’s Chips in Westport who approached the service window to order or pick up food during the hours of operation from March 31st to April 9th to:

· If symptoms develop:
o Immediately self-isolate
o Contact the Health Unit at 1-800-660-5853

Because this virus spreads so easily – we all need to do our part to slow and reduce the spread. This means practicing all of the public health measures:
- Follow the Stay-At-Home Order
- Stay home as much as possible and limit close contact (no masks and closer than 2m) to your own household (the people you live with)
- Practice physical distancing – stay 2 meters (6 feet) away from people in public areas
- Wear a face covering: Minimum of 2 layers of material; 3 will provide further protection when you cannot stay 6 feet away from people out in public – and in indoor public spaces as required
- Wash your hands often with soap and water, or use hand sanitizer after being in touch with others or handling anything from outside your home
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth
- Cover your cough and sneeze with a tissue or into your arm, not your hands
- Do not share personal items that come into contact with saliva such as toothbrushes, eating utensils, drinks, water bottles, and towels
