If you live in a group living setting, where many people who aren’t in the same family unit live together, you may be at an elevated risk of acquiring or transmitting COVID-19.
The Government of Canada is recommending some safety tips to people who live in these settings, which include:
- industrial camps
- student residences
- construction trailers
- closed settings, such as residential care, correctional facilities or longterm care facilities
- agricultural worker dormitories
- overnight camps for children and teens
- group homes for people with disabilities
- shelters for people experiencing homelessness
These settings may include vulnerable and at risk populations with a higher chance for serious illness. Adapted public health measures can help prevent COVID-19 from entering and spreading in these settings.
The government has developed sets of guidelines for some facilities, as well as providing more information. Guidelines can be accessed here.
