Infection prevention and control

From Directive #2, issued Jan 5, 2022: “Required precautions for all health care workers providing direct care to OR interacting with a suspected, probable (i.e. placed in precautions as high-risk contact, in an outbreak zone of the facility or recently transferred from a facility in outbreak) or confirmed cases of COVID-19 are a fit-tested, seal-checked N95 respirator (or approved equivalent), eye protection (goggles or face shield), gown and gloves.”

NEW: COVID-19 Exposure Reporting Tool – Highest Risk Settings

If you have been exposed to COVID-19, develop symptoms of COVID-19 or test positive for COVID -19 and you live, work, attend, volunteer, or have been admitted in a high-risk setting:

  • Notify them of the exposure and do not go there for 10 days from your last exposure, when the symptoms began, or when you were diagnosed.
  • To ensure sufficient staffing levels, workers will have the opportunity to return to work early on day seven of their isolation with a negative PCR test, or two negative rapid antigen tests on day six and seven.
  • If you live in a high-risk setting, you should isolate regardless of vaccination status.

This direction and more information can be found here.
