Our Response to COVID-19
Soldiering On…
On March 14th we marked one year since the start of our fight against Covid-19. Our long, tiring, exhilarating, heart warming and heart wrenching fight. It has certainly been one which we will look back on with an entire spectrum of emotions.
Vaccination Updates as of April 19th 2021
Yet, we push forward, learning, growing and adapting. We are not alone. Our residents, our extended families and our Greenwood family have been with us every step of the way.
With one year behind us we have practiced and learned the proper protocols to keep ourselves and our residents safe. We look to you to observe and adhere to your local Public Health Guidelines.
- Wear a mask
- Distance from others (2 metres)
- Follow guidelines for gatherings
- Wash your hands
- Use sanitizer
Our vaccines are rolling in. We all need to continue to stay safe, follow the protocols and guidelines and look toward a time when we can all do this…..
