COVID-19 Updates from May 22 – May 28, 2020

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 crisis.

This COVID-19 Pandemic Response site is updated weekly so that you have the latest resources available. You do not need to print or review every resource. The weekly checklist, updated each Thursday, lists what is required to be posted at your location. These required resources will have an asterisk “*” next to their title on the webpage.

This week, look for the following updates:

SUPPORT PEOPLE TAB

  • Checklist updated for Supervisors and Health & Safety Representatives to complete for the week of May 22nd to May 28th. This checklist is updated every week. Items in ORANGE (or GREY if printed in black and white) with a strike-through need to be taken down / discarded:
    • COVID-19 Weekly Preparedness Checklist
  • While there are some lightening of restrictions happening across the country, we must continue to be very careful in providing support to people. Christian Horizons has been able to preview the new Guidance document that will be coming out from the Ontario Ministry of Health. In agreement with this upcoming guidance document, we are moving to active entry screening, which means that people who are looking to enter a Christian Horizons support location will need to have their temperature checked and will be asked whether they are displaying any symptoms of COVID-19. Employee symptom checking will occur two times each shift for employees (at the start and end of each shift). Please be sure to update and become familiar with the following documents:
    • Guidance on COVID-19 Exposure Charts
      • Employee Exposure (2 steps)
      • Supporting People Who Use our Services (3 steps)
    • Daily Symptom-Monitoring
    • COVID-19 Screening Protocol
    • COVID-19 Symptom Self-Check poster
      • New passive screening guide that replaces the previous “COVID-19 Employee Self-Screening and Reporting Instruction”  poster as well as the “COVID-19 Door Poster with Employee Screening“.

EMPLOYEE ASSISTANCE TAB

  • Saskatchewan Employees – the Government of Saskatchewan has introduced the Saskatchewan Temporary Wage Supplement Program for eligible employees who are helping Saskatchewan’s vulnerable citizens through the COVID-19 pandemic.
