WHAT CAN I DO TO PROTECT MYSELF WHEN I TRAVEL TO THE SOUTH?

You are not required to self-isolate when you are going to the South, but we strongly encourage you to follow all precautionary measures put in place during the pandemic, and to:

Plan your travel ahead of time by keeping in mind the Areas of Risk and choosing where you will be staying and going
Inform your PSO in advance; they will provide you with specific instructions
Get vaccinated; it’s an extra layer of protection
Stay 2 metres/6 feet away from others outside of your bubble
Avoid crowded places whenever possible
Wear a mask properly (on nose and mouth) in public places
Cough and sneeze into your elbow or tissue; throw tissue away in a closed garbage can
Wash your hands often for 20 seconds with warm water and soap or use hand sanitizer
