Managing COVID-19 cases

Canadian Blood Services has a  process to manage COVID-19 cases.

Our process involves making decisions using established public health criteria. 

When you will be notified if you may have been exposed to COVID-19 onsite

You will be advised if you have been exposed to COVID-19 at work in accordance with public health requirements in the jurisdiction in which you reside.

Coming back to work after testing positive or being in close contact with a positive case

If you have tested positive for COVID-19, or suspect you have COVID-19, please notify your supervisor. Then:

  • Follow guidance from OHS/EHS and public health authorities in your jurisdiction for direction about the amount of time you must remain away from work.
  • If you have been provided with direction from public health that you should avoid attending work, advise you supervisor accordingly.
