"What are some of the things from a public health perspective that they can use to ensure that their businesses are safe and they are the provincial requirements and guidelines," said Dr. Wajid Ahmed, medical officer of health. "We felt that is was important for them, and also for us, to have some kind of a toolkit available that people can use and identify what are some of the things that they need to do to ensure that their businesses are ready."
Dr. Ahmed said they would be using provincial guidelines as well as their expertise to create sector-specific information for local businesses.
