If any of the following apply:
- their COVID-19 symptoms have been improving and you are no longer isolating at home
- they were exposed to someone with COVID-19 but have no symptoms
- they tested positive for COVID-19 but have no symptoms
the following Additional Precautions are required:
For 10 days after your symptoms started, the date of last day of exposure, or positive test result:
- wear a tight-fitting, well-constructed mask as much as possible in all public settings, including on-ice during all ringette activities (ie. practices, games) unless:
- you are temporarily removing it for essential activities (such as when eating/drinking in shared space) while still maintaining as much distancing from others as possible
- self-monitor for new or worsening symptoms
- seek testing (if eligible) if you develop any new or different symptoms
- avoid non-essential activities where you need to take off your mask (ie. dining out)
