Covid-19 Guidelines For Emergency Shelters

0

The National Office of Disaster Services (NODS) is advising residents of the Covid-19 guidelines that will be implemented in the public shelters.

 

They are listed as follows:

 

  1. Temperature checks will be conducted on arrival at the shelters.
  2. Individuals utilizing the shelters will be required to wear face mask. NODS encourages persons to bring along their own hand sanitizer.
  3. Shelter Managers and Volunteers are also mandated to wear face mask.
  4. Hand-washing stations will be provided.
  5. Shelters will be in possession of hand sanitizer and cleaning products.
  6. A designated space in the shelter will be assigned to families and or individuals that will allow for Covid-19 physical distancing protocols.
  7. A space is to be identified for a sick bay to isolate persons who are showing signs of sickness. Physical distancing must still be maintained within that space.
  8. Reports of sickness should be made to the National Emergency Operations Centre (NEOC) at 462-4206 who will then contact the appropriate health authority.
  9. Individuals with children are expected to keep them within their designated space and under control.
