Given the continued rise in COVID-19 cases in Alberta, we need your help to keep our campuses safe and open.
Yesterday, Dr. Deena Hinshaw, Alberta’s Chief Medical Officer of Health, announced a change to contact tracing. As cases rise, Alberta Health Services no longer has the capacity to call every contact of every case in a timely way.
Alberta Health Services will continue to do contact tracing in high priority cases, but, until further notice, will rely on individuals to notify their own close contacts of the exposure. With the onus shifting to Albertans to notify close contacts, it is more important than ever that NAIT knows who has been to campus, the specific locations you’ve been in and when.
Keeping our community safe is a shared responsibility.
Screening for illness is an essential part of NAIT’s strategy to slow the spread of COVID-19.
We have put in place enhanced measures to keep our community safe and have a rapid response plan to guide our response to cases of COVID-19 at NAIT.
Thank you for your efforts to keep the risk of transmission of COVID-19 on our campuses low.
Stay safe,
Josh Bowen
Director, Relaunch Coordination Team
