IMPORTANT NOTICE
COVID-19

While Ontario, like other jurisdictions, has taken measures to be able to live with and manage COVID-19 for the long-term, we still need to do our part to protect ourselves and others, especially during respiratory illness season.

This includes using the layers of protection that we know help keep ourselves and others healthy:

  • staying up to date on your COVID-19 vaccines and flu shots
  • wearing a tight-fitting, well-constructed mask in indoor public settings, especially if you are at higher risk of severe infection.
  • visitors and patients should follow any requirements for masking in hospitals, long-term care homes, and other health care spaces
  • staying home when you are sick and wearing a mask until day 10 from symptom onset
  • washing your hands often
  • covering your mouth when you cough or sneeze
  • regularly cleaning high touch surfaces
  • optimizing indoor air quality
  • if you are high risk, talk to your health care provider about antiviral treatment options in case you get sick.

 

FSS Staff


We have shared responsibilities in following the recommendations of the Government of Canada and Provincial and Local Public Health authorities. Freedom Support Services Inc. is committed to meeting the measures outlined for as long as it is required by the Ontario government.

FSS is following all COVID-19 related updates closely and will respond to any changes recommended by Public Health accordingly.

All FSS staff members are required to adhere to our client’s COVID-19 policies without exception, ensuring the safety and well-being of all individuals involved.
