COVID-19 Prevention Policy
Our Policy
- If you have cold symptoms, such as cough/sneezing/fever, or feel poorly, do not come into the building. Stay home. If you are a client, call and inform staff of any missed appointments. If you are part of staff, make sure you inform a superior of your absence.
- If you have a positive COVID-19 diagnosis, you can return to NVBH only after you’ve fully recovered, with a doctor’s note confirming your recovery.
- If you are planning to travel voluntarily to a high-risk area with increased COVID-19 cases, we’ll ask you to quarantine for 14 calendar days before returning to NVBH.
- Wash your hands after using the toilet, before eating, and if you cough/sneeze into your hands (follow the 20 second hand washing rule). You can also use the sanitizers you’ll find around the office.
- Cough/sneeze into your sleeve, preferably into your elbow. If you use a tissue, discard it properly and clean/sanitize your hands immediately.
- Open the windows regularly to ensure open ventilation.
- Avoid touching your face, particularly eyes, nose, and mouth with your hands to prevent from getting infected.
- If you find yourself coughing/sneezing on a regular basis, avoid close physical contact with your coworkers and take extra precautionary measures (such as requesting sick leave).
- In accordance with the current mandate all staff and clients are required to wear a mask inside of our buildings. If you do not have a mask, a disposable one may be provided.
