Limit all non-essential travel. Brampton Transit is a critical service and we are dedicated to providing a safe service to the community. Please only utilize transit service for necessary essential trips only.
Practice physical distancing.
Wash your hands often with soap and water or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
Avoid touching your eyes, mouth and nose as much as possible.
Avoid contact with people who are ill.
Cover your coughs and sneezes with a tissue. If you don't have a tissue, cough or sneeze into your upper sleeve or elbow, not your hands. Wash hands after coughing and sneezing.
