4 tips to help seniors stay warm in winter

1. ADJUST THE HEAT

Set your thermostat to a comfortable temperature. If you want to keep your electricity bill down, increase the heat in rooms you frequently use and lower it everywhere else.

2. DRESS APPROPRIATELY

Wear wool clothing as much as possible. This material keeps you warmer than fabrics like cotton and polyester. Don’t forget to keep your hands, feet and head covered too. This is where you lose most of your body heat. Plus, wearing thick socks and slippers will prevent your feet from touching cold floors.

When going outdoors, wear several layers of clothing to ensure you stay warm.

3. EAT WELL

To stay warm, your body needs to burn a fair amount of calories. Consequently, eating a balanced diet can help you fight the cold. Be sure to eat hot,

hearty meals and drink plenty of water. Sipping herbal tea throughout the day is a great way to stay warm and hydrated.

4. USE ACCESSORIES

If necessary, use a warm throw when watching TV or put a hot water bottle in your bed a few minutes before you go to sleep.

If despite your best efforts you still struggle to stay warm, make sure to consult your doctor.

Walker Climate Care donates to ‘Sisters’

Great Invitations

Who doesn’t love an invitation? Sometimes, they’re very special, other times- just an e-vite to a Midnight Madness sale. They can also be once in a lifetime, and it’s critical that you reply!

The Bible often uses the language of invitation These are often important invitations with implications that should not be ignored! But can’t an invitation by its very nature be ignored? Yes, many can be while others require our attention.

Here’s an invitation from Isaiah 55 in the Bible: “Come,all who are thirsty,come to the waters,and you who have no money, come buy and eat! Come buywine and milkwithout money and without cost. Why spend money on what is not bread and labour forwhatdoesnotsatisfy?Listentomeandeatwhat is good and your soul will delight in the richest of fair.Giveeartomeandyoursoulwilllive!”

Physical thirst is inescapable and purposeful. It drives you to replenishment. We are needy and reliant. Adults will surely know how to provide for their daily bodily needs. The hotter it gets; the more water you will need. Water in our body determines vitality, strength, and energy. A few facts: the human

body is two thirds water. We absorb cold water faster than hot.

By the time you are 70-years-old, you will have consumed 30-50,000 L of water. That’s 1.5 to 2 tanker trucks full. Studies show that increasing water consumption can decrease fat deposits. Water is a natural appetite suppressant. If you lose 2% of your body’s water supply, your energy will decrease by 20%. A 10% decrease in water, you will be unable to walk, and a 20% decrease – is deadly!

What is true of the physical is also true of the spiritual. God has made you with a spirit and soul, as well as a body that get thirsty. If you fail to satisfy your spiritual thirst, your soul will become weakened. Do you know where to look for satisfaction? God knows we thirst. He knows our needs, physically and spiritually. He has designed us to thirst. He’s inviting you to trust him to meet all your needs. Christmas time is a wonderful opportunity to embrace the delights of a season designed to not only satisfy our taste buds, but the need of our souls for a Saviour, Jesus Christ.

Are you in the mood for crafting? Here are a few ideas to help you decorate your home for Christmas.

STRING TREE

Cut a triangle out of cardboard and wrap a string around it until it’s completely covered. Make sure to glue the string at the beginning and end to keep it from unrolling. Decorate your tree with pom poms, sequins or tiny multicoloured beads to give it a festive look.

WINTER LANDSCAPE

Glue a large black circle in the middle of a coloured piece of cardboard. Glue a white half-moon on top to hide the bottom of the circle. This will create snowy ground and night sky. Glue two bottle caps on top of each other in the middle of the landscape to form a snowman. Draw a face on the bottom of the top cap and buttons on the lower one. Then, make Christmas trees out of green and brown cardboard and glue them to each side of your snowman. Finally, if you want it to look like it’s snowing, sprinkle white confetti in the sky.

Now, all you have to do is display your work!

Paint almost half the surface of a white paper plate red. Draw the red paint down one side of the plate, creating a rounded, tapered edge to form Santa’s hat. Colour everything else beige. Then, draw Santa’s eyes and nose. For the finishing touch, glue cotton balls all over the bottom of Santa’s face and around the edge of the tuque to make it look like his beard and hair.

PAPER SANTA

ing closer with every passing moment. We bet you can also hear the crazy whispers of upcoming Christmas and New Year evenings. So, why not make this Christmas one of the most fun and exciting ones.

The best activity should be something fun, exciting and relaxing at the same time. Why not experience a live Christmas show at Aultsville Theater. We bet that you won’t regret watching these shows.

Some interesting news out of city hall last week that should leave you shaking your head

SEAWAY NEWS

A news release issued Nov. 25 by the Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) calls out the City of Cornwall for what the ATU consid ers a heavy-handed response to an alterca tion between a member of the public and a bus driver.

We’re not exactly sure why (no one is except the two individuals in question) but a few weeks ago the driver and the member of the public scuffled on the sidewalk near the bus corral at the Pitt and Second intersection. Apparently, the bus driver was asked to light the individual’s cigarette. For some reason things escalated to the point where the indi vidual grabbed the bus driver’s hand. The bus driver then pushed the person to the ground.

The bus driver was subsequently fired by the city and now the ATU is screaming.

Like we said – no one knows exactly what happened or, more importantly, why. This is something the city and its union will need to sort out through the machinations of the col lective bargaining agreement both have signed.

What is of more concern to us, and should be to you as well, is the fact that these kinds of violent interactions are happening more and more involving frontline workers paid with public money. Public transportation employ ees are far more likely to suffer an injury on the job than those working in most private

transportation operations. This violence has also plagued nurses at our hospitals. Ditto some educational assistants at area schools. Even paramedics (who are on the scene to HELP) can often find themselves the target of punches and kicks.

We often hear from frontline public ser vants who have become the target of vitriol, threats and even punches from frustrated or clueless members of the public.

While there’s nothing wrong with calling out bureaucrats (who are paid with our money) when they are incompetent or careless, but there’s never a need for things to turn violent.

When did we all get so angry?

The problem is not solely focused on front line staff, but also elected officials. You will probably note that most municipal websites are paring down the amount of personal data they publish when it comes to mem bers of council. Phone numbers and email addresses are still kosher, but home addresses are being removed.

Why? Because elected officials are becoming targets. What was once great TV coming out of the USA has now become real ity in Canada. Violent reprisals against gov ernment workers, leaders and institutions is becoming commonplace.

Let us remind you that much of our nation al capital was shuttered for weeks thanks to

DANCES WITH WORDS

NUTHILLTOO@GMAIL.COM

Whenever I’m in line at one of the large grocery stores, I notice that some people’s carts contain large jugs of water, or a dozen or two packages of the ubiquitous 355ml plastic bottles. If they live in a rural area with a well that’s tainted with natural deposits of iron or sulphur, or agricultural run-off of manure, chemical-based herbicides or pesticides, or uncontrolled indus trial wastes, I understand the reason for their purchase.

However, I know of people who refuse to drink our municipally-supplied tap water. It comes to us so cheaply I’m tempted to say it’s free.

Bottled water is nowhere near free, and the waste produced by the plastic bottles is difficult to justify.

At conferences, wedding receptions or social gatherings, it’s common practice to have a refrigerated supply of beverages available. My usual practice is to have my hand explore among the ice-chilled bottles of beer, fruit juices and colas in the hope of finding a container of water.

It’s common knowledge that the quality of bot tled water is usually no better that what comes out of our municipal water treatment plants.

“Don’t leave home without it!” has been the slogan of American Express since 1979. It’s mine too, applied to a vacuum flask that was gifted to me about five years ago. It’s by my side on the road, in the canoe and even when I’m watching a video.

one can do without water for only a few days. Then the dangerous effects of dehydration set in. The biggest challenge of a three-day hike along Adirondack summits is the ability to carry enough water. There aren’t many springs atop mountain peaks. There’s no snow cover on Mount Marcy in August.

One of my most treasured experiences is that of finding a spring gushing out of the side of a hilly forest area. If there’s a beaver pond, a vast weedless cornfield or industrial tailings over the brow of the adjacent hill, beware! The former can cause giardiasis, commonly called ‘beaver fever’. The chemicals in the others can be just as harmful.

Probes of our solar system are trying to detect if there is water on the Moon or any of our neigh bouring planets. If found, I hope we give it greater respect than what we give to the water here on Earth.

In short – the temperature in the street appears to be rising. Just ask the Cornwall Transit bus driver.

Rail crossing was tragedy waiting to happen

Claude McIntosh

A federal government agency’s bureau cratic foot dragging set the stage for Cornwall’s worst fatal accident in 24 years when a car carrying four teenagers on Nov. 8, 1963 was broad sided by a fast-moving freight train.

The station wagon carrying the four –ages 18, 16, 15 and 14 – was struck at the rail crossing on Brookdale Avenue just north of Tollgate Road.

At the time, the gravel-covered road was a connecting link to a just completed sec tion of Highway 401. The crossing had nei ther gates nor flashing lights. Just a rail crossing sign.

Months earlier the city had begged the federal agency in charge of rail crossing safety to make the crossing safer. The appeal fell on deaf ears as the agency talked about a priority list. The city also expressed concern about the unguarded level crossing on McConnell Avenue.

Two of the victims were thrown out of the vehicle while the driver and passenger were dragged in the twisted vehicle across the Tollgate Road crossing before coming to a stop a hundred feet west of the Pitt Street overpass.

The male passenger thrown from the vehicle died in Montreal hospital the follow ing day. The others were killed instantly.

conditions played a role in the driver mis judging the fast-moving freight referred to as the highballer express.

Two days after the tragedy, the federal Board of Transport Commission in a kneejerk reaction installed make-shift amber flashing lights at the crossing. This was followed months later by flashing signals and crossing gates. Years later the over pass was constructed.

While Mayor Nick Kaneb called the unprotected crossing a “deplorable situa tion,” in the wake of the tragedy Ald. Gerald Parisien was more blunt. He said city coun cil was guilty of “not rocking the boat hard enough” when it came to a demand for a crossing gate.

A coroner’s inquest jury – made up of five citizens (Jock Dalbec, Clarence Petepiece, Albert Doyon, Melvin Hollister and J.A. Lusignan) – laid the blame squarely on the lack of any safety measure at the crossing on a road that connected the city to Highway 401.

Sadly, it took a tragedy that snuffed out four young lives for the power brokers to move on a crossing waiting for a tragedy to happen.

The previous worst fatal accident in the city was in 1939 when four people were killed – two of them members of the Maxville Millionaires hockey club – when the car they were in crashed through a Roosevelt Bridge barrier.

A Lochiel farm wife broke the proverbial glass ceiling in the 1963 United Counties municipal elections. Enid MacDonald was

collecting more votes than her two male rivals combined, and United Counties coun cil had its first female council member. (Counties council is made up of reeves and deputy reeves). Of MacDonald’s historic vic tory, The Standard-Freeholder’s Paul Cragg wrote: “Her election is a big step in a soci ety where a woman’s place is said to be in the home.” MacDonald and her husband, Archibald, operated a 300-acre dairy farm. Her niece, Elaine MacDonald, is a veteran Cornwall city councillor.

ALSO IN 1963: A national consumer sur vey of 78 municipalities showed that Cornwall had the highest smoking rates in the country. While the national average for men was 55% and for women 47%, Cornwall’s rates were 82% for men and 64% for women. Cornwall also had the high est consumption of vitamins and baby soap. ... Ann McAllister was valedictorian at the Osnabruck-Rothwell District High School graduation ceremony. James Bancroft received the top male athlete award. ... Fire destroyed the Choqette Hockey Stick factory in Alexandria. ... Teen heartthrob and recording artist Bobby Curtola performed at St. Columban’s Hall. Admission was $1.25. ... President John Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas on Nov. 22. Days later his accused assassin Lee Harvey Oswald was shot and killed by

Jack Ruby in the basement of the Dallas police department.

TRIVIA: Marion Robert Morrison was born in a small town in Iowa in the early 1900s. But in Hollywood he changed his name and became one of the most popular film actors of the 20th Century. Who was he?

TRIVIA ANSWER: Lally-Munro Fuels had the 1950s radio ad jingle “Lally-Munro call two-seven-hundred (2700).”

SPORTS STUFF CIRCA 1963: Jack Coleman scored his second goal of the game with 19 seconds left in regulation time to give Lancaster Dodgers a 4-3 win over Hull Volants in a St. Lawrence Senior Hockey League game. Dick Ledoux and Gilles Joanette had the other Lancaster goals. ... Ken Duffy and Guy St. Jean each scored a pair of goals to give Cornwall Gordon Refrigeration Royals a 6-3 win over Brockville Braves in an Ottawa and District Junior Hockey League game. Pete Nazar and Nick Deschamps also scored.

THIS AND THAT: Looking for a nifty stock ing stuffer? How about tickets for the upcoming World Junior Hockey Tournament Dec. 11-18 at the Ed Lumley Arena.

Rendez Vous brings in over $5k for Agapè

KRYSTINE THERRIAULT ktherriault@seawaynews.media

Food insecurity is on the rise this year because of increased cost of living. Local food banks and meal programs have noticed higher demand for their services, but thank fully our community is full of caring, action-minded individuals.

On Saturday, November 19, 2022, a fund raiser held at the Rendez Vous Restaurant and Bar brought in an impressive $5355 and 405 lbs of food for the Agape Centre.

“Food is essential to life. Without access to wholesome food people and circumstances suffer, to say the least. As a result of very tough financial times in our area, a group of patrons with the support of the Rendez Vous Restaurant Bar and Staff decided to respond to this most essential need by having a food drive and fundraiser for Agape. We would like to thank Agape for everything they do,” said the fundraiser’s organizing committee.

The fundraiser’s organizing committee was made up of Gerry Jodoin, Mary Emberg Jodoin, Bruce Delorme, Darlene Johnson,

Cornwall Sleep Dentistry for Kids is owned by Dr. Daniel Hovsepian, who runs several private dental clinics serving a large part of Quebec and Eastern Ontario. Dr. Hovsepian, known as Dr. Dan, started working in Akwesasne in 2008 and has offered services in Cornwall since 2015.

Dr. Dan is very passionate about what he does and his ‘why’ is very simple: he believes that kids should not be forced to wait for important dental procedures.

Until recently, sleep dentistry for children was only performed in hospitals. Unfortunately, this meant a lot of children with toothaches, oral abscesses, and infections ended up on waitlists for one or more hospitals.

Cornwall Sleep Dentistry for Kids offers everything in-house, so parents don’t have to travel far for services. Even though it’s a private clinic, they accept every type of insurance, including Healthy Smiles Ontario. This model is very different from clinics in bigger cities like Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver, who bill parents privately and don’t accept public insurance programs. Patients who cannot pay for treatment at these clinics are referred to hospitals with one to two-year wait times.

“Our goal is to take care of the children who need our services and to do so as quickly and efficiently as possible because there is a lot of negatives that the child will carry forever if we don’t take care of them and get rid of that pain early,” said Dr. Dan.

Three reasons why it is detrimental to make children wait for dental care:

1. Impact on Physical Growth

Children are always growing. For their body and organs to develop properly they need proper nutrition, but when you’re in pain, you don’t want to eat. Children suffering from dental pain will often fight eating at home or in the cafeteria at school which affects their physical growth.

2.

Impact on Attention/Learning

When a child is in pain and not eating or sleeping properly, it’s going to make it very hard to listen at school and at home. These kids are too busy trying to manage

their pain to absorb what they are being told by family and teachers, which affects their mental development.

3.

Impact on Self-Esteem

The last thing that is a huge problem, that people don’t even necessarily think of, is self-esteem. When a child looks in the mirror and sees teeth that are brown or black, maybe broken, they’re not going to be comfortable smiling. That affects a child for a very long time and maybe their entire life.

“Our model is to resolve these issues and see patients who can’t afford private treatment,” Dr. Dan explained, “We help kids so they can eat well, listen in school, smile when they want to smile, and talk when they want to talk.”

Dr. Dan works with a dedicated group of dentists, medical anesthesiologists, respiratory therapists, and anesthesia assistants. Since they’re a large group of providers, they cater their schedule to the demand for services. This means they can process anywhere from 40 to 60 referrals per month and have the resources to treat each of those patients within 6 to 8 weeks.

“It allows us to really work as we are needed and never have a waitlist like hospitals,” he said.

“We are located in the McConnell Medical Center, it’s a space everybody knows. Providers as far as Montreal and Toronto come to take care of the children in Cornwall. That’s how dedicated our team is. I essentially shop around for the best people for this task, people who also feel a certain satisfaction for helping people.”

The result? Parents who are extremely grateful for the opportunity to have their kids treated quickly and avoid prolonged pain, regardless of their financial situation.

“Imagine as a mother, not only is your child in pain but he suffers from autism. Maybe you’re a single mother and your income is very low. It’s a real gift to them that we can see them, treat them, do so very quickly and efficiently, and we can do it when their child is comfortably asleep and not feeling anything whatsoever. They’re not forced to wait in the typical and unfortunate public system,” he added.

Once a child is referred to Cornwall Sleep Dentistry for Kids, the team calls them in for a consultation within two to four weeks. During the consultation, the team explains how the procedure is going to go and gives specific instructions on what the patient should or shouldn’t eat before surgery. The surgery is booked in the next two to four weeks.

“I don’t refer to that as a wait time; I think in today’s day and age its usually much longer,” said Dr. Hovsepian, “We like to nip that in the bud and get them in right away.”

“A lot of people think dentistry is not as important as medical, but I can assure you that dental infections and abscesses can and have killed children because they have gone untreated. We will never risk making somebody wait. Body development, brain development, and self esteem are very important but overall keeping the child alive by treating them as quickly as possible is of utmost importance.”

On November 11th we said good bye to a bright light in our lives. Our mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, Theresa Mary Sullivan passed away and heaven gained another angel. We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who paid their respects at the funeral home, attended the funeral, sent flowers, cards and made donations in her memory. A special thank you to her godson Cory Houle, friends Lucia Teodoro, Marilyn Brown-Wylie and Dan Lortie for reading at the funeral. Paulette and Larry Amelotte for making sure the reception was perfect and her grandsons, nephews and great nephews for carrying her on her final journey. To Peggy Haramis and Randy Kitts for your beautiful gift of music at church.

Also, for the amazing support shown to us in her final days. Your thoughtfulness during a very difficult time will always be remembered.

It is never easy to say good-bye to someone who was loved so much, no matter how long you have had them, but we find comfort in knowing she has been reunited with loved ones and she is now at peace. Our sincerest thanks, Tina St. Martin and James Sullivan and family

On Sunday, October 23, 2022 the Cornwall edition of ‘Take a Veteran to Dinner’ took place at the Ramada Inn on Brookdale Ave. ‘Take a Veteran to Dinner’ is an event that originated in Orillia, Ontario and has spread to communities across Canada including Ottawa and Cornwall. This dinner evening is held as an opportunity to thank veterans in a small way for their military service to our country. Veterans of a number of conflicts were present including veterans of the Korean conflict and the Afghanistan mission as well as peace keeping missions in various parts of the world. Veterans from Cornwall and area as well as from Akwesasne were represented.

A feature of the evening is a guest speaker who presents a positive aspect for veterans to consider. This year’s guest speaker was Padre Rev. Maj (Ret’d) RMA ‘Sandy’ Scott MSM CD who spoke about his experience with PTSD and the support he receives from his dog, Mandy (Canadian Veterans Service Dog Unit).

The first Cornwall ‘Take a Veteran to Dinner’ was held in 2018, the third event was held this year and it is hoped that this event can take place annually in years to come.

The Take a Veteran to Dinner guests are hosted through donations and sponsorships from various individuals, businesses and community organizations.

What you should know about working for a co-op

Co-operatives provide infrastructure, goods and ser vices to more than eight million members and jobs to more than 95,000 Canadians. If you’re looking for work, a position with a co-operative could be a good fit. These types of organizations help communities meet common economic, social and cultural needs. In addi tion, their members typically place people over profits and believe in being honest, open and socially res ponsible.

SECTORS

Whatever your interests or passions, there’s probably a co-operative in your area that’s dedicated to the issues you identify with. In fact, co-operatives can be found in several economic sectors, including:

• Agri-food

• Energy

• Culture

• Forestry

• Retail

• Housing

• Insurance

• Human services

• Financial services

• Telecommunications

Co-operative businesses tend to be community-fo cused and committed to sustainability. Consequently, they play an important economic role in generating jobs and growth in communities across the country. If you enjoy helping others, you may want to develop your skills and put them to good use within a co-operative.

Déclaration du Dr Paul sur le port du masque pendant la saison actuelle de rhume et de grippe

DR PAUL ROUMELIOTIS MD, CM, MPH, FRCP(C), CCPE Médecin hygiéniste Bureau de santé de l’est de l’Ontario

Nous avons connu un retour hâtif des maladies respiratoires saisonnières au cours des quelques dernières semaines, notam ment le virus respiratoire syncytial (VRS), l’in fluenza et les rhumes, ainsi que la pandémie de COVID-19 qui se poursuit. Comme vous l’avez peut-être entendu dire, il y a un nombre alarmant d’hospitalisations et les hôpitaux locaux fonctionnent à 100 pour cent de leur capacité. Les soins intensifs pédiatriques de la région sont également surchargés, surtout de jeunes enfants de moins de 5 ans souf frant de cas sévères du VRS et de la grippe. Veiller à la sécurité et la santé de notre com munauté, y compris les plus vulnérables, est ma principale priorité et étant donné la sévérité et le nombre de cas qui sont vus, une approche communautaire est la clé.

Je souhaite vous rappeler comment veiller à votre santé, à celle de vos proches et de votre communauté à l’aide des moyens suiva nts pour prévenir la propagation des maladies respiratoires, protéger les plus vulnérables et alléger le fardeau pour notre système des soins de santé.

Le port du masque

Le port du masque lorsque vous êtes en public est un moyen simple d’ajouter une couche de protection, surtout si vous vivez avec de jeunes enfants, des personnes

âgées ou d’autres à risque plus élevé d’infec tion grave due à des maladies respiratoires.

Je fais écho à la forte recommandation de la province de reprendre l’habitude de porter un masque en public. Non seulement dans les lieux publics bondés, mais dans n’importe quelle situation sociale, le port du masque peut aider à limiter la propagation. Vous dev riez également porter un masque chaque fois que vous présentez des symptômes respira toires, même à la maison, pour aider à protéger ceux avec qui vous vivez.

D’autres moyens de prévenir la propaga tion des maladies respiratoires

En plus de porter un masque, d’autres moyens s’offrent à vous pour veiller à votre santé et à celle de ceux qui vous entourent. Ces moyens comprennent se laver souvent les mains correctement ou utiliser un désinfectant pour les mains lorsque l’eau et le savon ne sont pas disponibles, désinfecter souvent les surfaces et se faire un dépistage chaque jour, surtout avant d’aller au travail, à la garderie ou à l’école. Se faire vacciner contre la grippe et être à jour dans sa vaccin ation contre la COVID-19 peuvent également réduire la sévérité de la maladie, l’un comme l’autre étant disponible à toutes les per sonnes de 6 mois et plus en Ontario. De plus, éloigner les enfants, surtout les bébés, des foules aidera également à minimiser le risque d’infection.

Enfin et surtout, si vous vous sentez mal ade, je vous prie de rester à la maison. Ce qui

CENTRE CHARLES-ÉMILE-CLAUDE

peut être pour vous des symptômes mineurs, peuvent devenir une maladie grave et exiger l’hospitalisation pour une personne plus vulnérable.

Les traitements pour la maladie sévère

Des traitements pour une infection grave de la COVID-19 (Paxlovid) ou de la grippe (Tamiflu) sont disponibles si vous êtes à risque de maladie grave. N’hésitez pas à demander ces traitements si vous êtes admissibles.

Des pratiques soutenues dans la communauté

Un mot aux entreprises, agences et organi sations de notre communauté : je vous con sidère des leaders de la promotion de ces pratiques en passant aux actions ci-dessous. Bien que ce ne soit pas obligatoire, l’af fichage de panneaux qui recommandent fortement le port du masque dans vos instal lations et votre demande au personnel de le porter dans les situations appropriées peut encourager les autres à porter leur masque. Vous pouvez également fournir des masques pour ceux qui n’en ont pas. Je vous recom mande également de fournir du désinfectant pour les mains dans tous vos locaux, à des endroits accessibles pour encourager vos visiteurs, vos clients, vos employés, les étudiants et les bénévoles à utiliser une bonne hygiène des mains. Enfin, je voudrais prendre un moment pour vous remercier pour tout le travail que vous avez fait et continuez de faire, dans le but

d’assurer votre sécurité et celle de ceux qui vous entourent. Cette saison du rhume et de la grippe s’est avérée être l’une de nos plus difficiles à ce jour, et j’apprécie vos efforts pour intégrer ces mesures préventives dans votre quotidien et pour continuer à veiller les uns sur les autres. Plus ces mesures simples sont mises en pratique, le plus rapidement et efficacement nous pourrons diminuer la propagation des maladies, diminuer le sur peuplement dans les hôpitaux et protéger les plus vulnérables.
