Here we go again! With the surge in COVID-19 cases due to the new variant, employers are once again being hit hard with absences, and a lack of clear direction from authorities. Local health units/telehealth services are overwhelmed and it can take a while to get a response.
That is why Dunk & Associates is providing all of you two new resources to help you through this time. We have created a “Recommendations for COVID-19 Surge” document which provides some recommendations for immediate response when you have been notified that an employee has tested positive for COVID-19, is symptomatic or has had a close contact of a COVID-19 positive person. These recommendations are intended to assist in cases where you are not able to get an immediate response from your local health authority.
Any information provided by your local health authority, or municipal or provincial/territorial authorities will supersede this information.
