Statement Regarding COVID-19
Updated: March 23rd, 2020
In response to the evolving COVID-19 situation, Halton Women’s Place has developed and activated our risk management system to advance and heighten our efforts to manage COVID-19 and to do our part in containing the further spread of the virus.
We have taken the following measures to ensure the health and well-being of our clients, staff, volunteers and visitors. Until further notice:
- All business meetings have been cancelled or scheduled virtually;
- All ‘non-essential’ staff are currently working from home;
- No non-essential visitors, maintenance and outside service providers are allowed in the shelters;
- Volunteers are not being scheduled in shelter;
- Prior to entering either of our shelters, everyone is being screened for recent travel, proximity to others who have tested positive for COVID-19, and known symptoms of COVID-19;
- Hand washing and sanitation prior to entering our buildings is required;
- Donations are not being accepted.
Further to this, Halton Women’s Place has modified kitchen and cleaning operations in our shelters and have implemented social distancing. We are also asking clients to socially isolate by:
- Remaining in the shelter at all times, except for emergencies
- Refraining from visiting with friends and family, or congregating socially
We remain committed to ensuring the safety of women and children and our 24/7 crisis line, shelter and support services will continue without disruption.
We will continue to monitor this situation closely, take direction from the Public Health department, and provide updates via our website and through our social media channels.
