Applause For ASL Interpreters Amid Pandemic

Sign Language interpreters have become an essential part of keeping Deaf/HoH informed during daily briefings about the COVID-19 pandemic.

OTTAWA -- Amid the daily Coronavirus (COVID-19) briefings by multiple levels of government across Canada, a new public service figure is stepping into the spotlight - the American Sign Language Interpreter.

Kenneth Searson has watched the profession grow across the country for years now. The Ottawa retiree, who is Deaf, recalled being left out of certain meetings because of a lack of interpreters during his 36 years working for the government.

Today, the 83-year-old feels proud to see so many interpreters conveying vital information daily - including his daughter Brenda Jenkins, regularly seen translating Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's coronavirus briefings into American Sign Language (ASL).

The Accessible Canada Act,, new legislation enacted in 2019, states that "all persons must have barrier-free access to full and equal participation in society." It also recognizes that ASL, Quebec Sign Language and Indigenous Sign Languages are primary languages of communication for Deaf Communities.

Thanks to the act, passed last June, "we are now seeing the presence of more and more sign language interpreters throughout Canada," said Jenkins, who was raised with sign language.

"I am a Child of Deaf Adults. This is my community. So I'm thrilled to see that there is finally parity and access for our community."

With so many Canadians tuning in to every COVID-19 press conference, the sign language interpreters alongside municipal, provincial and federal officials have become familiar faces in many households... Read The Full Story on CBC News.

Do I Have COVID-19, The Flu Or A Cold?

WHO declares COVID-19 a global pandemic - What to do if you have symptoms and are worried you've been exposed to COVID-19.

GENEVA, Switzerland -- The World Health Organization (WHO) officials believe the rate of Coronavirus (COVID-19) cases is going to get worse before things start to get better. If you feel sick, when should you get tested?

Here are some basic facts about the virus, its symptoms, prevention, and what to do if you believe you are infected.

To activate this feature, press the "CC" button.

What are the symptoms?

Unfortunately, the initial symptoms of COVID-19 are very similar to the seasonal flu and even the common cold, so you may not know whether you are infected with Coronavirus - COVID-19.

The symptoms can include:
- Fever.
- Cough.
- Difficulty breathing.
- Pneumonia in both lungs (which would be seen on a chest X-ray).

Not everyone who is infected with COVID-19 has symptoms, and some people will only exhibit very minor symptoms.

"About 80 per cent of people will not get really sick from this," Dr. Samir Gupta, a respirologist, told CBC News.

The only way to confirm COVID-19 is with a lab test. Symptoms may appear as soon as two days after exposure or as long as 14 days after exposure.

The flu vaccine will not protect you against COVID-19.

What should you do if you have symptoms?

If you are under 50 years old and otherwise healthy, just stay home and take care of yourself. Definitely don't go to hospital, says Dr. Andrew Morris, an infectious disease specialist.

To activate this feature, press the "CC" button.

"The hospital's like the worst place for anyone, other than people who are really sick and who will need hospitalization. Just being infected with a viral infection is not a reason to go to hospital."

But it is a good reason if you are older, have a compromised immune system, or are experiencing shortness of breath.

The most important thing to do is to call ahead to your health care-provider when possible, whether you are going to see your primary care physician, a walk-in clinic, or an emergency department at a hospital. Upon arrival, you will be asked to wear a mask while waiting to prevent spreading your germs and you may be isolated... Read The Full Story on CBC News.
