Reopening plan for research
In accordance with a recent UBC Bulletin issued by Dr. Santa Ono, UBC has implemented its new, streamlined safety planning process in alignment with Step 3 of BC’s Restart plan. Seven institutional safety plans are available, to be applied to UBC and VCHRI learning, research and/or administrative spaces. This plan will apply basic risk reduction principles that will reduce the risk of not only COVID19 transmission, but of all communicable diseases that affect the workplace. Those working in health authority clinical spaces (i.e. patient wards, ICU) must continue to follow health authority IPAC guidelines.
