Hi Everyone,
This important update takes effect on Sunday September 26 2021 and affects all non-vaccinated Designated Essential Caregivers. (this would also include any designated essential caregivers who choose not to show proof of vaccination).
It has been brought to our attention that the COVID Assessment Centre’s are no longer performing routine PCR tests for non-vaccinated, designated essential caregivers who do not have any symptoms.
As a result, effective this Sunday Sept 26 2021, all designated essential caregivers will be required to have a rapid antigen test performed each time they enter the Home.
This test will take place in front of the tea room area as usual. You are not required to wait for your results.
If you plan to enter the building more than once per day, please ensure to communicate this to the person testing you so that we can provide you with the necessary documentation as proof of your test.
This process will now be the same as the process in place for general visitors.
Thank you for your ongoing cooperation and kindness extended to JMPC staff.
With much appreciation,
Angela Malcolm
Director, Long Term Care Services
