The daily COVID questionnaire is no longer required in Ontario workplaces. Employers can discontinue this practice, though we recommend that you check with your local Health Unit first to determine if they have issued an instructions or any recommendations to continue this practice in your region.

While active screening is no longer required (but you may continue it if you wish), passive screening remains a requirement for staff and patrons entering any indoor public space. You can achieve that by including postings at your entrances (we’ve included some links below but you probably have these posted already, and can download printable PDF’s from your health unit’s website).

As mentioned in previous client communiques, we expect all remaining public health measures to be discontinued by the end of the month.

However, we remain of the view that all Public Health Units will nonetheless continue to recommend vaccination policies in workplaces.  We continue to advise you to maintain your vaccination policy until at least the end of this year.
