- Vaccines
- Masks
- Variants
- Testing
- Safety Protocols
- Quarantine & Isolation Protocols
- Additional health and safety matters may be added, if applicable.
The committee will be responsible for monitoring changing guidance, responding to questions raised by that changing guidance and informing protocols for operational issues that are brought to their attention, either by the cabinet or other operational groups. Their role will be to assess the issues in accordance with recent health and safety guidance, make recommendations related to health and safety protocol changes to the Cabinet for its ultimate decision and then develop communications related to these decisions and/or provide guidance to those responsible for regular operational processes.
