The Coronavirus continues to concern us all. Last week at one of our locations, a child in care tested positive for COVID-19. All affected parents and staff have already been informed.

In addition, it is known that a family member of an employee or family member of children in care has tested positive for COVID-19 at a few locations. In all the above cases, the children or staff member immediately (preventively) went into home quarantine.

 

To reduce the flow of information, we are informing you in this letter what you can expect from us:

  • If a child or a staff member in our care has symptoms related to COVID-19, we recommend staying home and having a test done. Person may not return to shelter until the person is at least 24 hours complaint free;

    3. All affected parents and staff will be informed.

 

  • You will not receive any communication from us if a family member of a child or family member of employee in our care has tested positive for COVID-19. Child or employee do (preventively) go into home quarantine for 10 days.
