The Ford Government has delivered its new COVID-19 Action Plan for Vulnerable People.
Premier Doug Ford says it builds on the actions his government has already taken to protect those in group homes, homeless shelters and other high-risk settings in Niagara and across the rest of the province.
“We’re further protecting these vulnerable populations by ramping up screening and implementing mandatory testing at any outbreak site including testing all transfers and new residents.”
Ford says they’re also going to deploy personal protective equipment to all staff in congregate settings.
Officials will also conduct risk assessments, starting with homeless shelters and group homes.
The government will also limit all staff members to only work in one residence during the outbreak.
