The province of BC has announced the end of respiratory season and the launch of the spring COVID-19 vaccine booster campaign. With decreased rates of respiratory disease across the province, BC is ceasing the additional infection prevention and control measures implemented in September 2023.
This means that staff who work in Long-Term Care and Assisted Living buildings are no longer required to wear masks.
Beginning Monday, April 8, 2024:
As always, we ask staff to please stay home if you are ill.
Thank you for working with us these past months by wearing a mask. You can read the full press release from the BC Government News site here: https://news.gov.bc.ca/releases/2024HLTH0036-000506 . The removal of the mask mandate is in the third paragraph.
Please join me in welcoming Nicole Wiebe as the new Executive Assistant. Nicole’s first day will be April 26th.
