SCS has taken measures to be able to live with and manage COVID-19 for the long term, but we still need to do our part to protect ourselves and others, especially during respiratory illness season.

It remains important for us to respect the decisions of others and serve everyone equally, regardless of vaccination status. In line with the changing government policy, as of October 4th, 2022, SCS will no longer require proof of COVID-19 vaccination to receive in-person services. Rest assured we will continue to monitor government and public health directives as they evolve, and remain vigilant to protect ourselves and the people around us.

This includes:

• Practicing good hand hygiene
• People at higher risk of illness, wear a mask to reduce the transmission of COVID 19
• If you are experiencing symptoms, please stay home

Vaccination:

• Experts agree that vaccination provides the best protection against illness, hospitalization, and death. Therefore, we encourage all members of our SCS community to maintain current vaccinations

Isolation procedures:

• If you have tested positive for COVID-19, please self-isolate for 10 days from the time your symptoms began or you tested positive, whichever is earlier. Please do not visit our office during this time
• If someone you live with has tested positive for COVID-19, and you are fully vaccinated, please self-monitor for symptoms and avoid visiting anyone who may be at higher risk of illness for 10 days
