Unfortunately, due to the contagious nature of COVID-19, it is
likely a matter of when, and not if, a resident will test positive,
or be placed into isolation for being in contact with someone who
has tested positive. As such, corporations need to be prepared.
According both federal and provincial government, individuals
who have tested positive for COVID-19, returning from international
travel, or been in contact with anyone who has tested positive must
isolate and stay home for 14 days. This means that any resident,
who falls in any of the prior categories, are not legally permitted
to leave their units – they are not to wander the common
elements during this isolation period. However, corporations have
been facing questions from these residents such as, "I need to
dispose of garbage" or "I need to pick up a package"
or "What about my food delivery?" Corporations need to be
prepared to implement measures that will still permit residents to
obtain their food
