As the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve globally and locally, Cancer Warrior Canada Foundation would like to extend gratitude to all the front line workers which include doctors, nurses, paramedic staff for taking care of the patients. A special thanks to truck drivers for assuring the supply of essential items, store workers and other service providers, who are working tirelessly to manage this situation, taking decisive and swift action to help the fellow Canadians.
As it is determined that COVID – 19 causes respiratory illness (like the flu) with symptoms such as a cough, fever, and in more severe cases, difficulty breathing. You can protect yourself by washing your hands frequently, avoiding touching your face, and avoiding close contact (1 meter or 3 feet) with people who are unwell. Cancer patients or survivors are at high risk due to affected immunity. Please maintain social distancing by staying home.
