Our values, vision, and mission together with your well-being and the well-being of people who use our services continue to be our top priority during the current pandemic.
This week, look for the following updates:
We are beginning to see what some health units are referencing as a wave of COVID-19 infections. With significant restrictions on PCR testing it can be difficult to gauge how wide spread infections are at this time. The Science Advisory Table for Ontario has updated their dashboard which includes wastewater signaling. You can view that information here. For information about COVID-19 prevalence in Saskatchewan you can follow this link.
COVID-19 Weekly Preparedness Checklist
- The COVID-19 Weekly Preparedness Checklist has been updated for the week of April 7th – April 14th, 2022.

COVID-19 VACCINE UPDATE
With increased access to third doses/booster shots for COVID-19, it is important to be aware that consent will need to be facilitated for the people that use our services as they become eligible. It appears that each health unit in Ontario and the Saskatchewan Health Authority have varying interpretations on the requirements for consent so be sure to work within your local communities to meet the consent requirements as they are required.
Electronic Proof of COVID-19 Vaccination
If you have previously chosen to receive a COVID-19 vaccine but have misplaced your electronic and physical proof of vaccination you can receive a new electronic proof through the Ontario Health site here. You will require your health card number. For those in Saskatchewan you can retrieve your proof of vaccination here.
