The Department of Health and Community Services is advising the public about changes to the one worker one home Special Measures Orders.

Effective tomorrow (Thursday, September 10), operators of personal care homes, long-term care facilities, community care homes, and assisted living facilities will be able to allow their staff to work across multiple health care locations.

Operators will also be able to allow their staff to work a second job, while simultaneously being employed in one of these health care settings.

The Special Measures Orders are being relaxed at this time because of the low prevalence of COVID-19 in Newfoundland and Labrador.

The Special Measures Orders can be found online here.

The department wishes to thank the public for their cooperation and understanding during the COVID-19 pandemic.
