You are safe to continue to provide resident care because you are trained and prepared for a COVID-19 outbreak. Just like during any infectious outbreak, your training means you will know how to provide resident care safely by following our strict infection prevention and control procedures, including the correct use of PPE.
Full outbreak PPE (gloves, masks, face shields, gowns) has been provided and will continue to be supplied as needed to all employees. Staff will be provided with refresher training on donning and doffing PPE when they attend the site for work.
