New Covid19 Checklists
Sept. 23rd Update - Dr. Hinshaw
During September 23, 2021, COVID update Dr. Hinshaw provided clarity regarding the new daily checklist (https://open.alberta.ca/dataset/56c020ed-1782-4c6c-bfdd-5af36754471f/resource/58957831-a4ab-45ff-9a8e-3c6af7c1622e/download/covid-19-information-alberta-health-daily-checklist-2021-09.pdf)
Dr. Hinshaw communicated that she has added a new recommendation for any unvaccinated or partially vaccinated individuals when there is a positive COVID case in their household. The new recommendation is that any unvaccinated or partially vaccinated individuals (including children under 12) should stay home for 14 days when a person who lives in the same house as them tests positive for COVID. This request to stay home for 14 days is only a strong recommendation, not a mandate. She acknowledged that this may be an issue for school-aged children under 12 as they are not able to get vaccinated. This means that anyone who is not protected with 2 doses of vaccine after a household positive case should quarantine for 14 days. Dr. Hinshaw indicated that this recommendation only applies for household contacts and not school-based (e.g. classmates) or workplace exposures/close contacts.
