RENFREW COUNTY (Pembroke) — The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) states there are several active travel health notices for 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19). Each country or area may have different levels of risk. These risk levels may change as the COVID-19 event evolves internationally.
The risk to Canadian travellers abroad will vary depending on the destination, as well as the person’s age and health status. Please check the travel health notices through Canada.ca before you travel. Additionally, there is increased risk for COVID-19 for settings such as cruise ships, heavily affected areas, international conferences and other large gatherings in enclosed spaces.
All international travellers should self-monitor for symptoms of COVID-19 (fever, cough or difficulty breathing) for 14 days after returning to Canada; avoid places where you cannot easily separate yourself from others if you become ill; and if you develop symptoms, stay home and call Renfrew County and District Health Unit at 613-735-8654 extension 577 or Telehealth Ontario at 1-866-797-0000.
Renfrew County and District Health Unit (RCDHU) continues to monitor the COVID-19 situation daily. There are currently no cases in Renfrew County and District. The risk for Renfrew County and District residents remains low for COVID-19.
