  4. How can I get government information for my jurisdiction?

Below are links to community information on novel coronavirus (COVID-19) in all 14 jurisdictions:

  • Federal Public Health Agency of Canada COVID-19 information
  • Ontario COVID-19 information
  • British Columbia COVID-19 information
  • Quebec COVID-19 information
  • Alberta COVID-19 information
  • New Brunswick COVID-19 information
  • Newfoundland and Labrador COVID-19 information
  • Nova Scotia COVID-19 information 
  • Prince Edward Island COVID-19 information
  • Manitoba COVID-19 information
  • Saskatchewan COVID-19 information
  • Yukon COVID-19 information
  • Northwest Territories COVID-19 information
  • Nunavut COVID-19 information

The following are additional sources of information useful to manage your emergency preparedness and response plan:

  • World Health Organization – Coronavirus
  • Public Health – hand hygiene
  • Travel Advice and Advisories
  • For workplaces (even if from MB still applicable in all jurisdictions)
  • Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (US)

Employers need answers—and assistance

Therefore, the questions from employers regarding managing and addressing developments caused by the spread of COVID-19 are legitimate and reasonable. Employers need to be prepared to respond respectfully, quickly, appropriately and within the law, as matters continue to develop.

Remember, all employer responses must be in line with information provided by federal, provincial and territorial public health agencies and governments, and not based on assumptions. The circumstances and potential consequences for employers in connection with COVID-19 continue to evolve each day. We will keep you up-to-date with measures put in place by public health and governments to help with these issues as they are implemented. You can also keep up-to-date on HRinfodesk (subscription required). Also, when making decisions to protect your people and your business, we strongly recommend seeking the advice of a lawyer.
