COVID-19 PLAYBOOK 2.0

We are pleased to welcome back our students and employees for the academic year of 2021-2022. This playbook has been updated by the Incident Command Team based on guidance from health authorities, government and feedback from the CMCC community.

INTRODUCTION

Reopening CMCC will be a gradual transitional process and will prioritize in-person learning, patient care and other essential activities followed by activities that are social and recreational while keeping the risk of COVID-19 infection transmission is low. This process will take into account regional health status as well as vaccination levels within the CMCC population for a safe return to normal activity levels on campus.

CMCC continues to operate with health and safety protocols in place with the understanding they will be scaled back when appropriate for our community. Conversely, CMCC may be required to change measures that directly impact your on campus activities in order to further protect the community. In this case, you will be informed by CMCC of the changes and what the alternative plans are.

Reopening CMCC for the academic year will include the following:

1. A hybrid learning model with plans to carefully resume a full in person curriculum safely over time

2. In-person patient care and continued use of telehealth

3. Essential employees on site with a gradual return of other employees when and if appropriate.

4. Permitting social and recreation activities when safe to do so.

CMCC has implemented a layered system of guidelines and controls, the Hierarchy of Controls, to reduce the risk associated with COVID-19. The system is a standard Occupational Health and Safety Administration concept whereby the top of the funnel is the most effective and protective method in relation to the methods at the bottom of the funnel which include the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Following this hierarchy for implementation of plans and strategies can reduce the risk of illness. No institution can completely eliminate all risk of exposure to COVID-19 or any other infectious agent.

WELCOME BACK!

Policy

Please review CMCC’s interim policy on COVID-19 vaccination in effect as of September 7, 2021. This policy meets the requirement of post-secondary schools by the Ontario government. It includes collection of vaccination status for students, staff and visitors as well as outlines requirements for persons who are not vaccinated. CMCC has established and communicated procedures in this regard that includes the use of rapid testing. Rapid testing only applies to asymptomatic individuals at CMCC who are not fully vaccinated.

Please contact Patti Scott [email protected] in Student Services or Sharlene Browne [email protected] in Human Resources for more information.

Vaccination for COVID-19 is strongly encouraged by CMCC and plays a key role in a safer transition to normal activities on campus.

• Refer to Public Health and government websites to remain up to date on guidance regarding vaccination.

• Practice measures in place to protect yourself and others regardless of your vaccination status.

• Consult your healthcare provider if uncertain about getting vaccinated, at high risk for COVID-19 or have a condition that may prevent you from being vaccinated.

• If you are unvaccinated and not medically exempt, you may click on this link to take an educational session to better inform you on COVID-19 vaccination.

VACCINATION & RAPID TESTING

Section 2

Privacy

Collection of vaccination data through Student Services and Human Resources is warranted for planning purposes and remains confidential in CMCC’s systems.CMCC discourages questioning anyone about their vaccination status for personal interest or disclosing someone’s vaccination status to others. Respecting an individual’s right to privacy must be upheld.

International students are to follow federal and provincial government guidelines for entry into Canada.

COVID-19 PLAYBOOK 2.0

Distancing

Always maintain a distance of at least two metres except when engaging in person-to-person contact during learning, patient care and research. Crowding and unessential gatherings on campus are not encouraged.

PPE

You are considered well protected from COVID-19 two weeks after your second dose of a two dose approved vaccine series or one dose of an approved one dose vaccine. COVID-19, however, is still transmissible once you are fully vaccinated and therefore PPE is still required.

A mask is mandatory on campus and required to be worn when you arrive. Everyone must change into a disposable mask. Cloth masks are permitted if an accommodation is required.

A medical mask, scrubs/gown, disposable gloves (based on circumstance) and eye protection are required for patient care and any person-to-person contact whether you are fully vaccinated, partially vaccinated, or unvaccinated.

PPE & Distancing Specific to Activity

Each division is responsible for explaining protocols to their audiences in detail and specific to their activities. The necessary PPE supplies are to be ordered through the Supply Centre by the designated division PPE lead. The following chart is a guide for the use of PPE.

Masks

Medical masks are a form of personal protective equipment (PPE) and are worn in conjunction with other types of PPE (when indicated) to protect the wearer from exposure to potentially infectious respiratory droplets. Medical masks are intended to be worn once before being discarded. When worn correctly, medical masks can also function as a form of source control, protecting those around the wearer from potential exposure to their respiratory droplets and aerosols. Masks are available at entry points and on campus through each division.

Wash your hands before wearing a mask

Press the metallic strip to fit the shape of the nose

Do not touch the mask

Locate the metallic strip and place it on the nose bridge

Remove the mask from behind by holding the strings with clean hands

Check the new mask to make sure it is not damaged

Secure the strings behind your head or over your ears

Dispose the mask in a closed bin without touching the front

Replace the mask if gets soiled or wet

Cover mouth and nose fully making sure there are no gaps

Wash your hands after removing the mask

Proper side of the mask must face outwards

Page 15: CMCC RETURN TO CAMPUS PLAYBOOK

p. 15

COVID-19 PLAYBOOK 2.0

Mask Exemptions

• Children do not have to wear a face covering indoors if they are younger than two years old.

• Anyone with a medical condition that inhibits their ability to wear a face covering.

• Anyone who is unable to put on or remove their face covering without help from someone else.

• Anyone receiving accommodations according to the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005 or the Human Rights Code.

• When necessary for the purpose of health and safety.

Scrubs or Gowns

Scrubs or gowns must be used for patient care and person-to-person contact. In the absence of access to scrubs or gowns, it is recommended to bring a change of clothes to clinic or campus.

Gloves

Disposable gloves may be required for certain person-to-person contact at CMCC, either in the clinic or laboratory. Directors will advise students and employees of applicable

requirements. Gloves are available to be worn as an option in settings where use is not mandated.

Proper use of gloves and their limitations requires training, including reinforcement that hand hygiene is still required after wearing gloves. Touching your face with contaminated hands, whether gloved or not, poses a significant risk of infection. All gloves must be disposed of in appropriate touchless receptacles.

Face Shield or Goggles

Face shields are PPE, are considered an alternative to goggles and are not meant to function as a primary device for respiratory protection. Face shields or goggles must be worn in patient care and person-to-person contact. Face shields should not be shared and must be cleaned and disinfected before and after each use.

How to Wear PPE

Donning and Doffing are terms used for putting on and removing PPE. Divisions involved with person-to-person contact will review PPE application and removal with employees, students and guests.

Gloves and masks are not considered recyclable items and are not to be disposed of in recycle bins.

COVID-19 PLAYBOOK 2.0

Hand hygiene refers to removing or killing microorganisms (germs) on the hands. When performed correctly, hand hygiene is the single most effective way to prevent the spread of communicable diseases and infections. In health care, hand hygiene is used to eliminate transient microorganisms that have been picked up via contact with patients, contaminated equipment, or the environment. Hand hygiene may be performed either by using soap and running water, or with alcohol-based hand rubs.

HAND HYGIENE &DISINFECTION

Section 5

When to practice hand hygiene:

• Upon arrival to clinic, learning or office environment

• Before and after each patient interaction or student learning interaction

• Before and after use of diagnostic or therapeutic equipment

• Before and after use of office equipment such as desks, keyboards, and touchscreens

• Before and after changing a mask, changing gloves or other Personal Protective Equipment

• Before preparing, handling, serving, or eating food

• After performing personal functions (e.g., using the toilet, blowing your nose)

• When hands come into contact with secretions, excretions, blood, and body fluids (use soap and running water whenever hands are visibly soiled)

• When hands are visibly soiled

• Before and after processing any payments when contactless payment is not possible

• Before and after cleaning/disinfection procedures

Campus Disinfection

CMCC will maintain regular cleaning on campus during business hours and at the end of each day. Teaching laboratories, faculty, technologists, and students will have a key role to play to ensure lab spaces, workstations, technique tables, tools and other equipment are cleaned before and after use.

The following measures will support decontamination:

• Daily room cleaning at the end of the day and disinfection of high touch surfaces throughout the day by cleaning staff.

• Participating in wipe down of shared objects using the disinfection supplies provided in clinic, offices and learning spaces such as, shared desks, chiropractic tables, lab equipment and other common use items.

• A disinfectant cleaning schedule is on every washroom door. Washrooms will be closed during disinfectant procedure by cleaning staff.

• Additional detailed disinfection protocols specific to learning, patient care and research are provided separate from this playbook.

• Each division has a designated lead to order PPE supplies through the Supply Centre.

Deep Cleaning Decontamination Protocol

Deep Cleaning Decontamination Protocol is triggered when someone suspected or infected with a pathogen has occupied an area on campus. In this case, the area will be isolated for cleaning using a wipe down method, ventilated where possible and will reopen only after deep cleaning has occurred.

Page 19: CMCC RETURN TO CAMPUS PLAYBOOK

p. 19

COVID-19 PLAYBOOK 2.0

Tests

It is recommended you get tested with a lab based PCR test if you have been advised to self-isolate or have symptoms. This could result in a quicker return to campus if cleared by Public Health.

Self-testing Kits (Antigen Point of Care Testing) are NOT to be used for COVID-19 infection in symptomatic individuals, individuals with known contact with a COVID-19 case or outbreaks.

CMCC is a participant in the Provincial Antigen Testing Program with purpose to conduct rapid tests on employees and students who are not vaccinated as outlined in our Vaccination Policy.

Case and Contact Management Continues to evolve and considers a person’s vaccination status. CMCC may exercise a more cautious approach to managing contacts in order to ensure continuity of operations and education.

Close Contact

Is anyone who has been in close physical proximity (less than two metres) to someone who has COVID-19. This could include someone you live or work with, or someone you have been less than two metres away from for longer than a brief period of time.

Report an Absence

Report your absence using the Employee and Student absence forms.

Contact Public Health to understand your circumstances regarding COVID-19 when in doubt.

Contact Human Resources or Student Services for further assistance.

Take the Ontario Self- Assessment if exposed to COVID-19 or have symptoms. Remain home if experiencing one or more of the following

• Symptomatic

Suspected or Confirmed COVID-19 Case on Campus

If a visitor, patient, employee, or student feels ill use the following steps to respond. It is important to note that reporting someone with symptoms on campus supports a culture of health and safety. Disclosure of such information ALWAYS remains confidential for both the reporter and suspected infected person.

Steps:

1. Affected person must exit the building if able to go home and medical attention is not immediate or required.

2. Complete the Ontario Self-Assessment and follow the steps. Alternatively, contact local public health 416 338 7600.

3. If affected person is unwell and requires attention, call Clinic at ext. 113 or 416 482 2546 and a clinician will escort the individual to one of CMCC’s isolation rooms. Room 213 (ext. 117) or Room 327A (ext. 261) for assessment.

4. Clinicians must wear full PPE and conduct the Ontario Self-Assessment with the individual to determine next steps. Ensure the individual has a way to get home safely. In this instance Student Services or Human Resources can be contacted.

5. Affected student must follow up with their year director and complete the online absence form.

6. Affected employee must follow up with their director and complete the online absence form.

7. Clinic in partnership with Human Resources or Student Services will initiate contact tracing to limit any potential spread of infection on campus or in clinic as is deemed appropriate in advance of Public Health.

8. Division involved should immediately inform Physical Facilities to determine if areas require closure for deep cleaning where the affected person has been.

If the individual at any time is displaying emergency warning signs such as difficulty breathing, chest pains, confusion or losing consciousness, call 911 immediately.

Outbreak Management and Closure

Confirmed or probable infection spread on campus may result in the full or partial closure of the CMCC campus and/or satellite clinics at the discretion of public health. Areas may be cordoned off for decontamination creating a temporary cease to learning, treatment and work activities. In this instance, one or more of the following may occur:

• An email will be sent to the CMCC Community advising of affected areas if access is restricted.

• Students, employees, and patients will be asked to vacate the restricted areas by management onsite or Facilities.

• Employees must be prepared to work from home until it is safe to return to work. Students will be provided make-up time if learning activities are missed.

• Patient appointments will be rescheduled only when it is safe for CMCC to resume treatment activities.

• Other essential activities will be modified or postponed.

Year IV

The following is a general outline of CMCC’s approach to continuity of education for the clinical curriculum in Year IV.

Telehealth, virtual case-based learning and virtual curated material for clinical education are provided where in-person clinical education and experiences cannot occur.

In the event of restricted in-person patient care, urgent care will be provided.

If an external clinic is closed or not fully operating, additional clinical space is created on campus for patient care. Expanded capability for students through the faculty and externship program are provided for additional experience.

If manual skills cannot be assessed in person, this would be delayed to a time when this is possible.

Interns remain in their cohort (treating partners).

Depending on the phase of the pandemic and safety measures that can be maintained, examinations for Years I-IV can be done either virtually or in person.

IT Pandemic Support

CMCC’s Information Technology resources continue to provide support for remote learning, assessment, work, and IT support during the continuing pandemic situation. At least one Helpdesk IT staff member is present on campus at all instructional times.

CONTINUITY OFEDUCATION

Section 8

Years I-III

The following is a general outline of CMCC’s approach to continuity of education during the pandemic for Years I-III. The scenarios below describe restrictions triggered by governmental directives.

Scenario 1: Academic schedule allows for groups no greater than 50 (including any teaching faculty) in any one learning space at one time for all essential hands-on, in-person labs, lectures and small groups sessions are delivered virtually.

Scenario 2: Academic schedule allows for groups of 10 including the faculty member. Lectures, anatomy, and small groups sessions are delivered virtually.

Scenario 3: All instruction moves online. It would involve significant planning for make-up labs and could involve the removal of spring break and extension of the academic year, depending on the length of time that any type of in-person instruction is prohibited.

Clinical Experience: In the event that an in-person clinical care experience is not available, Year III clinical interaction is via telehealth. Year II & III External Observership Program is done through a reflection assignment. Clinical grand rounds are virtual for Years I-III.

Depending on the phase of the pandemic and safety measures that can be maintained, examinations can be done either virtually or in person.
