SOCIAL DISTANCING AND FACE MASK DIRECTIONS

Mask wearing requirements have not changed. Please adhere to the following instructions.

Single use masks only while working.

When to Wear A Mask:

  • Masks are to be worn at all times when supporting clients in their home or any indoor environment 
  • Masks are to be worn at all times when transporting clients in a vehicle
  • Masks are to be worn at all times when social distancing is not able to be observed in an outdoor environment

How to use a mask:

  • Before putting on a mask clean hands with alcohol based hand rub or soap and water
  • Cover both your mouth and nose with the mask at all times making sure there are no gaps between face and the mask
  • Avoid touching the mask while using it – if you do, clean/wash your hands immediately
  • Replace mask with a new one as soon as it is damp or after 4 hours – do not reuse single-use masks
  • To remove mask take it from behind and do not touch the front of the mask – discard it immediately in a closed bin and clean hands with alcohol based hand rub or soap and water

It is imperative that masks are worn correctly as directed.
