Help !

Hi , I need your help.

I am sure you also need my help.

Oh ! hell, we all need help from each other .

For the Covid-19 pandemic , the authorities are relaxing the lockdown and allowing  the opening of stores and offices  though  carefully and slowly.

It has become our individual responsibility to remain safe and also to safeguard public when we are out shopping or gone out walking .

When going to stores such as Valumart or Giant Tiger or Canadian Tire or any other store in our area – it is important  to keep distance from other shoppers  and wear a mask (or a face shield) , if need be.  Follow store safety measures ,  respect other shoppers  and  please do not rush to pick items past a customer already present at  the aisle. 

Coronavirus  or COVID-19  doesn’t care about you or me or about  our gender or age or race or  nationality or height or weight.

It is  everyone’s responsibility to take necessary actions in order to limit its spread.

We do not want ourselves  or our loved ones to get infected .  Who would want to be hooked up to a ventilator or respirator ?

Protect Yourself and Others From Coronavirus.

By  helping each other to  keep safe – together, we’ll get through this.
