Communicable Disease Prevention Plan

Administrative

This Communicable Disease Plan is in place and is based on guidance provided by Public Health, WorkSafeBC and each clinician’s professional regulatory body
Training provided to all staff on cleaning and safety protocols. Review of policies and procedures is undertaken at regular intervals
Education is provided to staff and clients about staying home when sick
Policies in place to support staff to stay home when sick

Mask Policy

COVID-19 is spread by liquid droplets that come from the mouth and nose when a person coughs, sneezes, talks, laughs, yells or sings. Wearing a mask should be combined with other measures including hand washing and physical distancing since use of a mask is not enough to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Medical Masks are required to be worn by all Legacies Health Staff and Contractors. These are required to be worn at all times with the exception of when eating, drinking or when in an office alone.

It is highly recommended that clients and visitors to Legacies Health Centres wear a mask while in the clinic.
