Continued adherence with all public health measures, including handwashing, masking and physical distancing, is expected when at work and in the community.
General COVID-19 reminders
All kinesiologists are encouraged to review the College’s COVID-19 guidance. Below are some reminders:
- Screen patients/clients at the time of booking and on the day of the appointment. Consider virtual care as an option, particularly if a patient/client screens positive for exposure to the virus or is at risk of complications should they contract COVID-19.
- Always wear a mask and other appropriate PPE, such as eye protection.
- Wash your hands with soap or use a Health Canada approved sanitizer before and after each patient/client interaction and when putting on and taking off PPE.
- Clean and disinfect all patient/client contact surfaces after each use.
- Regularly clean and disinfect all high-touch surfaces in your place of employment, including reception and break room surfaces.
