The greatest concern is how this variant will impact seniors.

All gatherings are limited to your own bubble except for single-person households where they may join another bubble.

If you are positive or are in isolation you are not to leave your property unless for urgent medical care. Rotational workers must self-isolate away from their family for 14 days.

Wear a mask whenever you interact with anyone outside your bubble including outside. Washing your hands destroys the virus on your hands.
