If you are not feeling well and experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 please contact Kat and make arrangements to re-schedule your grain deliveries.

Why these measures are needed

Albertans have a responsibility to slow the virus's spread and make sure the health system can continue supporting patients with COVID-19, influenza and many other needs.

There is a time lag between when people get infected and when new cases are identified. This means the cases we see today were infected up to 2 weeks ago.

We must work together to protect each other. The greater the community spread, the more likely it will infect our loved ones most at-risk of severe outcomes, including death.

What else you should do

Albertans must continue following existing public health measures to keep everyone safe:

Stay 2 metres apart when you can, wear a mask when you can't
Practice good hygiene: wash your hands often and cover coughs and sneezes
Monitor your symptoms every day

If sick, stay home, get tested, and follow mandatory isolation requirements while waiting for results:
- if positive, isolate from others for 10 days or until symptoms are gone, whichever is longer
- if negative, stay home until you're better
