On Friday of last week, the Ontario Government amended
section 2 of Regulation
364/20. Effective September 26, 2020, any person responsible
for a business or organization is required to comply with the
advice, recommendations, and instructions issued by the Office of
the Chief Medical Officer of Health on the screening of
individuals.
In conjunction with this regulatory amendment, the Ministry of
Health published a
screening tool that businesses and organizations should use to
assess whether workers or essential visitors should be granted
access to the workplace.
The Ministry of Health has advised that the questions outlined
in the screening tool are, at a minimum, those that should be posed
to workers and essential visitors. The preamble to the tool
specifically notes that it can be adapted to suit any additional
needs of specific workplace settings.
