Safety During Viral Respiratory Illness Season

/in , , ,

On January 7, 2025 the BC Ministry of Health put out new public health orders to help keep everyone safe during the current Viral Respiratory Illness Season. Posters have gone up around campus. These new guidelines apply to all buildings on our campus and will stay in place until the Public Health Officer declares VRI season over.

Do not visit if you are sick. 

Please wash your hands often and wear a mask for the safety of our residents.

  • Wear your mask in common areas and resident spaces
  • Mask not required for 1 on 1 visits
  • Draw the curtains to create a safe space in a shared room

A mask is required if you are visiting more than one resident.

No social distancing required and there is no limit on number of visits or visitors.

Thank you for keeping our vulnerable residents safe!
