Vulnerable people

Here is an important message about the coronavirus from the regional public health department and the City of Dollard-des-Ormeaux.

First, if you need help getting groceries, medications or cash, call 2-1-1. Someone will answer your call.

Your health is important. So please follow these measures to protect yourself against coronavirus.

• We ask that you please stay home. Ask a family member, neighbour or friend to get your groceries and medications for you.
• If you don’t have anyone to ask, call 2-1-1. Someone will give you a referral for help.
• Think before you invite your loved ones to your home! Ask them if they have been in contact with someone who has COVID-19 or if they have any symptoms. Remember to maintain a distance of 2 metres and/or wear a mask.

Here are a few important phone numbers.

• If you have cold or flu symptoms, call the COVID line at 514-644-4545. In the meantime, stay home and rest. Don’t go out.

• Don’t forget that you can always make an appointment with your family doctor. If you are getting follow-up care from a professional at the CLSC, don't hesitate to contact them.
