Safety Measures for Condos and Apartments (COVID-19)
· Living in a condo/apartment building with shared facilities and tight spaces amid COVID-19 can be challenging;
· Policies specific to COVID-19 will vary condo board to condo board;
· Bring tissues with you so you can use it when you push the elevator button or handle doorknobs;
· If the elevator has other residents in it, please wait for another elevator (overcrowded elevators should be avoided);
· Take the stairs where possible (It is a way to avoid sharing elevators and a good way to keep healthy);
· When waiting for the elevator, please keep your distance from other residents by 2 metres;
· Be mindful, think about what you may be touching - door knobs, elevator buttons, garbage chute handles;
· Work with management as they ramp up and increase the frequency of cleaning and disinfecting surfaces; and,
· Maintain your separation, keep your hands clean, keep your hands away from your eyes, mouth and nose and please stay home if you don’t have to go out.

· Residents are asked to put their yard waste out on their regularly scheduled garbage/yard waste at the start of collection week (Monday).
· Please put your yard waste in yard waste bags to keep our workers safe.
· Crews are working to pick it up so please allow a few days and we will get to it.
Government of Ontario

· Government Canada has leased a warehouse in China to help collect and distribute medical supplies as quickly as possible.
· The Prime Minister was questioned about U.S. President Donald Trump's order to stop supplying N95 respirator masks to Canada.

公寓和出租樓房的安全措施（COVID-19）
• 在COVID-19大流行期間，居住在有限空間，並要共用公寓/出租樓房內的公共設施可能充滿挑戰；
• 應對COVID-19疫情，不同公寓委員會採取不同的政策;
• 隨身攜帶紙巾，這樣在需要按電梯按鈕或使用門把手時可以使用它;
• 如果電梯已有其他住戶在裡面，請耐心等待下一部電梯（應避免過度擁擠的電梯）;
• 盡可能走樓梯（這是避免共用電梯和健身的好方法）;
• 等待電梯時，請與其他住戶保持2米間的距離;
• 注意，想想您可能觸碰到的物件― 門把手、電梯按鈕、或垃圾槽把手；
• 與大樓管理公司配合，增加清潔和消毒物體表面的頻次。，
• 保持安全社交距離，保持雙手清潔，不要用手觸摸眼睛、嘴巴和鼻子。如果不需要外出，請留在家裡。
多倫多市府
• 自4月6日，星期一，至4月17日，星期五，市府將恢復後院垃圾收集，為期兩周。
• 居民應該按照垃圾/後院垃圾的收集安排，在收集周開始的日期（星期一），擺放好後院垃圾。
• 請使用後院垃圾袋，以保障本市垃圾收集員的安全。
• 工作人員將努力完成後院垃圾的收集工作，請給我們幾天時間去處理後院垃圾。
安大略省府
• 更新後的必需服務清單縮減至44類― 超市、藥房、水電煤氣、公共交通、出租車以及寵物護理服務，都將繼續開放。如需查看最新列表，請點擊：https://www.ontario.ca/page/list-essential-workplaces?_ga=2.153214008.1655370987.1585576067-721918803.1551207427

• 聯邦政府已在中國租下貨倉，以協助盡快收集和運送醫療物資到本國。
• 總理被問及美國總統特朗普下令停止向加拿大出口N95防護口罩的問題。他說，聯邦政府一直”非常明確”地向特朗普政府表示，維護兩國之間基本商品和服務的雙嚮往來至關重要。
• 總理宣佈，為婦女庇護所和性侵犯中心撥款4千萬加元。另外，為原住民婦女和兒童緊急庇護所撥款1千萬加元。
