Now that Saugeen Shores has entered Stage 3 in the provincial government’s reopening strategy, the Town recognizes there may be questions regarding procedures if positive cases of COVID-19 are identified in the business community.

In a recent media release, the Town has partnered with Grey Bruce Health Unit to develop an employer fact sheet for business owners’ reference if an employee tests positive for COVID-19. The intent is to provide businesses with the steps the Health Unit will take for positive COVID-19 cases and what, if anything, is required from the employer.

The “COVID-19 Fact Sheet for Businesses” is available to businesses at saugeenshores.ca/businesssupport under “Local resources”, or by visiting saugeenshores.ca/en/invest-and-plan/resources/Documents/Ec-Dev/COVID-19-Fact-Sheet-for-Businesses_20200730.pdf.

Grey Bruce Health Unit also offers local businesses with many resources and communication materials, including posters on mask wearing, preventing the spread of COVID-19, and self-screening. These are all available on their website at publichealthgreybruce.on.ca/COVID-19/Businesses-Employees-and-Organizations.

For more information on the Town’s economic recovery and available resources for businesses, contact Heather Hyde, Economic Development Officer at 519-832-2008 x106, heather.hyde@saugeenshores.ca.
