COVID-19

CONNECT is closely monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic and we are not receiving non-essential visitors at this time.

We are regularly communicating with employees, the people we support and their families.

We have a robust infection prevention and control protocol at CONNECT, but we are asking everyone to be extra diligent in the following ways:

  • Wash your hands thoroughly and frequently
  • Make sure frequently touched surfaces are sanitized
  • Avoid touching your face and sneeze and cough into your sleeve
  • Avoid crowds and being around people who are sick, keep a social distance from people
  • If you are sick or have been around someone who is sick, please stay home
