The ministry has announced that it is lifting the lockdown status in the province of Ontario
As we are seeing an increase in openings of businesses across the province, it is expected to see an increase in COVID-19 contacts. Please pay attention to the latest recommendations from the ministry below.

Highlights
- Masks & PPE are still required as we continue to deliver care in a health care / clinical setting
- We will still be sending out COVID-19 questionnaires to screen for major and minor symptoms.
Many other questions have surfaced:
- What do I do if I’m still experiencing symptoms?
- Anyone with ‘major’ COVID-19 symptoms would need to self-isolate (Major symptoms are classified as: fever, chills, cough, shortness of breath, or decrease of taste/smell). If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, you are required to isolate for a period of 5 days
- Anyone with ‘minor’ COVID-19 symptoms would need to self-isolate for 48 hours (Minor symptoms are classified as: runny nose, muscle ache, vomiting, headache, diarrhea).
- For those who are asymptomatic but have tested positive, you would need to self-isolate but those that you have been in proximity with wouldn’t need to self isolate provided they are fully vaccinated
