From WRHA:

Good day,

There has been a lot of discussion recently on the latest lifting of public health restrictions. The messaging from public health has been that the province is shifting from requirements to recommendations. Many businesses/agencies/organizations, including Support Services to Seniors, will choose to keep vaccine and mask requirements as well as continue with screening, PPE and  IP&C practices based on their programs and services offered in the community. As you know, this is be a board and/or leadership decision based on each organization’s capacity (i.e. implement, scan of their older adult population served, physical capacity/size, etc.).  

I am sending the below links for your information:

Healthcare facilities will be following the below memos currently:

https://sharedhealthmb.ca/files/covid-19-update-to-health-care-workers-reopening.pdf

Community Health Agencies that provide primary care service they will continue to follow:

      Shared Health Covid 19 resources for health care providers and staff

As always, please continue to view the Shared Health website and Manitoba Government website regularly as updates occur often.  

You can also contact your local Public Health Inspector for guidance if needed.

Do not hesitate to contact me to discuss further if/when needed. Each SSS agency has showed true strength, innovation, resilience and a true sense of community during this time. Support Services to Seniors wishes to extend a round of applause and thank each of you for your continued efforts, especially in these last two years, as we all navigate and pivot with the ever changing needs in the community.

Thank you,

Kathy
