Despite limited supplies from the federal government, the Ontario government has taken decisive action to provide protection to our most vulnerable seniors as q...uickly as possible. In response to further reductions in COVID-19 vaccine shipments, Ontario continues to administer first doses to residents in each long-term care, high-risk retirement, and First Nations elder care home, with an updated goal for completion of February 10. https://news.ontario.ca//ontario-continues-accelerated-vac

The Ontario Government has declared a second state of emergency to address COVID-19 and save lives. Effective January 14 at 12:01 am, there is a stay-at-home or...der in effect for 28 days requiring everyone to remain at home except for essential purposes, like the grocery store, pharmacy, health care, and essential work. Please do your part and follow public health recommendations to help flatten the curve, and keep our community healthy and safe. We can do this CK! For more information, please visit our Updates on Closures page with all the new details: https://ckphu.com/covid-19/closure-updates/ #StayHome #SaveLives #StaySafe #StopTheSpread #WeCanDoThisCK
Why should you get vaccinated with the COVID-19 vaccine? Vaccination is one of the most effective ways to prevent the spread and reduce the impact of infectious diseases, whether it is the seasonal flu (influenza) or childhood infections. Safe and effective vaccines for COVID-19 are becoming available to protect us - all of us - against COVID-19. While many people infected with COVID-19 experience only mild illness, others may get a severe illness or even die. There is no way to know how COVID-19 will affect you, even if you are not at increased risk of severe complications. A COVID-19 vaccination helps protect you, your loved ones, and the community by creating an antibody response without having to experience the illness of COVID-19. Visit https://ckphu.com/covid-19-vaccine/ for more information on the COVID Vaccine.
As Wave 2 of the COVID-19 pandemic reaches a critical point, we know the light at the end of tunnel may still seem far away. Despite these difficult days, hope... is very much on the horizon with the arrival of the COVID-19 vaccine in Canada. We are anticipating to hear news in the very near future from the provincial government on when the first vaccine shipment will arrive in Chatham-Kent. Rest assured, our #CKVaccineTeam is already in the midst of planning what Phase 1 of vaccine distribution will look like here in CK. Chatham-Kent Health Alliance, CK Public Health, the Chatham-Kent Ontario Health Team and community partners are working collaboratively on this rollout plan. This means we’ll be ready to begin vaccinating safely and fairly as soon as the vaccine arrives. Guided by the Ethical Framework for COVID-19 Vaccine Distribution as set out by the Ministry of Health, the initial vaccines will be safely administered to residents, staff, physicians and essential care givers in our Long Term Care Homes. These key populations are identified as most vulnerable to the transmission and spread of the virus and will be first priority in the vaccine rollout locally. Every step of the way throughout these next months, the #CKVaccineTeam and our health system partners will keep you informed and up to date on our COVID-19 vaccine journey. Please keep an eye on our social media channels and websites for more information. Hang tight, and stay safe. Continue to follow all public health recommendations. Together, we’ve come a long way. Let’s keep going. This is our moment Chatham-Kent. #ckont #StayStrongCK #WeCanDoThisCK

Last week, we released a letter to the community urging your support of our health care system during the COVID-19 pandemic. Please consider the following actio...ns: 1) Understand the severity of the situation. COVID-19 is real, and is in Chatham-Kent. 2) Follow lockdown protocols. Follow Public Health Guidelines. 3) If you feel sick or unwell, call your family doctor or primary care provider first. If you do not have a family doctor, you can call Telehealth Ontario to speak with a registered nurse 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, by phoning 1-866-797-0000.

Please note that Thamesview FHT is not allowing ‘exhale’ valve masks. Some respirators/masks have exhaust valves which are intended to make it more comfortable for the person wearing it, but also allow infectious respiratory droplets to be released outside the respirator/mask. Use of respirators/masks with exhaust valves will not protect others from COVID-19. Please do not use respirators or masks with exhale valves to prevent the spread COVID-19.

Sick Days: Please do not send children to school if they are ill. Rules around children going to school sick will be strict this year and they should be. Children with Covid -19 can present with mild symptoms and it will be difficult for you to know if this is Covid-19 or a regular cough/cold.... Familiarize yourself with your school board’s policy on student illness and requirements prior to returning. Contact your health care provider if you have concerns. Please be kind to your school staff and educators. There will be many changes for everyone. Be patient and try to have an open dialogue with staff to ensure a safe and healthy return for your kids. Everyone is going to be learning together, and we must act as the role models we want our children to emulate.
