Inside the Circle – January 10 2022

As a reminder to all employees, it is important to practice regular hand hygiene, and continue to screen yourselves daily to reduce the risk of COVID-19. Employees who are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 should remain home from work and take a COVID-19 test.

To reduce the risk of becoming sick or re-infected with COVID-19, we encourage employees to do the following:

• Practice the 5 moments of hand hygiene
• Screen yourself daily and screen your clients at each visit
• Follow current PPE protocols such as universal masking and donning additional PPE based on screening, or when advised to do so because of potential exposure
• Practice masking outside of work, or when in highly populated areas
• Get your COVID-19 booster as they come available to you
• Get your annual flu shot

As a reminder, once you have received your booster dose(s) please submit a copy to HRDept@circleofcare.com. You will also receive an additional 1 hour of payment on an upcoming pay cheque.
