The Chief Public Health Officer has advised that cases have peaked or are declining in many communities. Many GNWT employees will be returning to their worksites.
As the number of cases of COVID-19 in the territory increased due to the Omnicron Variant, working from home was just one way to help reduce the risk community spread and transmission.
Fort Providence employees will return to their designated worksites on January 24, 2022.
Thankfully, the processes and rules we have in place make our workplaces very safe; however, as individuals and employees we must remain cautious, conduct our own risk assessments, and continue to engage in healthy practices. Set your safety nets, get vaccinated and get a booster. If you are not vaccinated, take a moment to learn about vaccine safety and efficacy. Follow good hand hygiene and respiratory practices, and use physical distancing where appropriate.
Most importantly, after we return to the office, we will ask that if you are not feeling well, that you please stay home. Similarly, if you live with an individual who is not feeling well, please stay home also. Additionally, if you have had close contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19, we ask that you notify your manager and follow the recommendations of the Chief Public Health Officer.
Please see this update from our Superintendent regarding a Territory-wide school closure the first week of January. The closure is to prevent the spread of Covid-19. Classes will resume on January 10.
