COVID and more COVID

Additional Notes from Maria McDonald:

On April 23, 2021, the Government of Ontario introduced new rules about removing masks to eat or drink at work (Regulation 82/20 see section 2 (5.1)). Specifically, a person responsible for an organization which is opened shall ensure workers who remove their mask or face covering to eat or drink, are separated from all other people by:

  • (a)  a distance of at least two metres; or
  • (b)  plexiglass or some other impermeable barrier

I am passing this along as I know healthcare employers have been discussing this issue, especially as it affects how people may (or may not) congregate in the lunch room.
