I would like to reassure the public that all COVID19 cases now identified to Public Health are in compliance with the requirement to isolate until recovery. We contact these individuals on a daily basis for monitoring.

Where any reliability issues exist relating to the requirement to provide truthful information to health care providers, and in turn doubts about potential non-compliance, public health is working with local enforcement agencies to ensure compliance.

We require individuals to honestly and reliably provide accurate information about their symptoms to reduce the potential spread of the COVID-19 virus. Doing the right thing will help ensure everyone’s safety during this pandemic. Providing false, inaccurate, or incomplete information will result in more rigorous Public Health measures, which may include Orders under the Health Protection and Promotion Act and subsequent penalties for non-compliance.
