Thunder Bay COVID Screening Test
As per the Office of the Chief Medical Officer of Health in accordance with subsection 2(3), Schedule 1 of O. Reg. 364/20: Rules for Areas at Step 3 and at the Roadmap Exit made under the Reopening Ontario (A Flexible Response to COVID-19) Act, 2020 (ROA), the person responsible for a business or organization that is permitted to be open must ensure that workers, whether or not they are fully vaccinated against COVID-19, are actively screened for COVID-19 before they go to work or start their shift each day. Individuals who have provided proof of vaccination are still subject to the workplace screening requirements as set out under O. Reg. 364/20.
Anyone who is sick or has any symptom(s) of illness that are not listed in this screening tool, should stay home until they do not have a fever, their symptom(s) are improving for over 24 hours (48 hours for gastrointestinal symptoms), and sees assessment from their health care provider, if needed.
The questionnaire is not to be used as a clinical assessment tool or intended to take the place of medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.
The personal information collected from individuals during the COVID-19 Workplace Pre-Entry Screening process is protected under the WGI Company Privacy Code contained within the WGI Employee handbook.
If you’ve answered “Yes” to any questions from 1 through 7, you must not enter the workplace (including any outdoor or partially outdoor workplace). Employees must contact their manager, supervisor or designate and advise them of the situation. Employees must go or stay home and self-isolate immediately and contact their health care provider, take the self-assessment, visit a clinical assessment centre, or call Telehealth Ontario (1-866-797-0000) to get advice or an assessment, including if you need a COVID-19 test, if eligible. Employees must then update their manager, supervisor or designate accordingly.
If any of your answers to these screening questions change during the day, you must contact your manager, supervisor, or designate and advise them of the change and go home to self-isolate immediately.
