Re: COVID-19
The Town of Pincher Creek recognizes the need to know and participate with the informational support of Public Health Officials. We also recognize the need to continue to provide essential services to the Town of Pincher Creek if COVID-19 was to affect our community and our team. The current risk level in Alberta is low.
We have implemented the following precautions:
- Notice to team members with reminders on good personal habits and creating a household plan
- Set up the ability to work from isolation for some team members, as required
- Increased the presence of hand sanitization and personal hygiene reminders
Businesses are encouraged to use the resources on the Pincher Creek & District Chamber of Commerce website to create a plan for your business and your team.
Stockpiling of goods is not recommended at this time. While it’s always best practice to have three days’ worth of supplies on-hand, we are not recommending the purchase food or other materials in bulk.
If you have symptoms and recently travelled outside Canada or were exposed to someone who has COVID-19, stay home and call Health Link 811 for instructions. Do not go to the Emergency room or Associate Clinic. If you need immediate medical attention, call 911 and inform them that you may have COVID-19.
