Hello Everyone,

I wanted to let you know that an employee at the AGO has tested positive for COVID-19. I am thinking of the employee and wishing them a quick recovery.  I ask that everyone respect their privacy during this time. 

I want to assure all of you that we have taken all the necessary measures to control any potential means of transmission. We have shut down certain areas and are doing deep cleaning through internal and external resources. We have notified any individuals who may have had any contact with this employee and have asked them to go and remain home. We are monitoring the situation closely and will send out further communication if needed.

I know that this news is concerning. It’s why we developed strict safety protocols and have limited access to the building to as few employees as possible. The COVID team has done everything that they can to ensure we have a safe work environment. We will not allow any work to re-commence until we are confident that there is no longer any risk of infection. It is also a reminder to us all to closely follow the strict protocols that we have put in place.

Thanks to everyone’s hard work, we have not had a positive case in 10 months. Our protocols are working. Let’s continue to be vigilant.

Sincerely,

Stephan
