Ontario’s Director of Health, Dr. Kieran Moore said on Wednesday that people who feel ill should self-isolate while they have symptoms and return to work or school 24 hours after their symptoms end. Masks should be worn for about 10 days after a person ends their voluntary self-isolation period, Moore said, but it will not be mandatory. “Normally, we would see the respiratory virus season start around the end of September and so this advisory is being implemented to guide that risk,” Moore told reporters at a news conference announcing the expansion of the COVID-19 boosters for small children. . “So this is a respiratory virus-only approach because the complexity will increase this year as other respiratory viruses circulate in our schools and workplaces.” When asked if people who test positive on a rapid or PCR test but are no longer symptomatic can go out in public, Moore said yes with “extra precautions.” “The caveat is that we also want to maintain high levels of protection through ongoing awareness with all our vaccinations, but in particular with awareness of the COVID-19 vaccination,” he said. Moore said the advice provided on Wednesday is aimed at the general public and that further specifications may be released for workplaces, such as long-term care, that are at higher risk. Those who are ill are advised to refrain from visiting these types of vulnerable environments. Schools, however, do not appear to be on the list of vulnerable areas being considered for further COVID-19 recommendations. Moore said that improving ventilation, as well as cleaning policies at these facilities, will help reduce the spread of the virus. He urged people to wear masks continuously for a full 10 days if they are sick, and that this precaution combined with the other measures “should reduce the risk of all respiratory viruses in our communities”. Moore said the Ontario government has taken a cautious approach to changing the guidelines, citing other provinces that have already taken “a blanket approach to all respiratory viruses,” such as Nova Scotia and British Columbia. “We wanted to go further into the seventh wave before we rolled it out and also had it available in schools to make sure we could reduce the impact of all respiratory viruses in the classroom and also in the workplace.” The last time isolation guidelines were changed in Ontario was in late December 2021, when Moore reduced the required isolation period from 10 days to five for vaccinated individuals. As it stands, the new policy applies to everyone regardless of vaccination status. While Moore encourages sick people to stay home when they’re not feeling well, Ontarians are only covered for three paid sick days under the temporary pandemic program. Doug Ford’s administration has not yet said whether it plans to make this program permanent. The program is set to expire in March 2023.
