Thank you to everyone who provided feedback on the COVID-19 Visiting Record (formerly, the COVID-19 Visitor Checklist) for tracking visitors in Ontario! In response, we have updated the Visiting Record in the ODB (Operations Database). Among the improvements made are:
- a drop-down menu to select the type of Visiting Record and
- a built-in notification system to alert supervisors when records are created and completed.
All locations are required to document visits using this record. Enhanced visitor and home visit restrictions have now been put in place in some communities by MCCSS. Please click here for a summary of these restrictions, also available on the COVID-19 Resource page. No matter which community you serve in, please continue to use the COVID-19 Visiting Record in the ODB to track visits in your community.
“Thank you!“ for your ongoing diligence in this documentation. By using the ODB, we can securely access any needed information for reports or for the Ministry should it be requested. We have also heard that electronic submission reduces the amount of work involved in printing, scanning, and securely storing these records.*
With the recent improvements, this is a great opportunity for your team to review the COVID-19 Visiting Record together!
If you have questions, please connect first with your supervisor or with Lo-an Tran, Operations Manager, at ltran@christian-horizons.org.
The new COVID-19 Visiting Record will be available in the ODB on, Tuesday, October 13 at 7:00 AM. Please refer to the Instruction Guide – linked to in the visiting record – for more details.
