There is still a lot of confusion surrounding the definitions of social distancing, social isolation, and quarantine (mandatory isolation) - these are all not the same thing.

*Social Distancing - physically keeping distance (minimum 6 feet/2 metres) between yourself and others to prevent possible transmission of the virus

*Social Isolation - staying at home as much as possible and minimizing trips to the grocery store, etc to reduce the amount of community transmission cases of the virus

*Quarantine aka Mandatory Isolation - a LEGAL requirement to stay in your home and NOT leave for any reason (including groceries, exercise, etc) for the suggested time fame due to prior travel or close contact with an individual who is confirmed positive for COVID-19.

Check out the Alberta Gov't website for more information on these distinctions and how to properly isolate/quarantine should you need to!
