As a reminder, COVID-19 pre-shift screening was implemented in all stations and facilities on March 19, 2020 and remains mandatory for all Toronto Paramedic Services (TPS) staff. Self-screening assessments must be completed at the start of each shift.

The upcoming influenza season, coupled with the identification of the new BQ.1.1 COVID-19 sub variant, reinforces the importance of pre-shift screening as an effective way to minimize risk of exposure to respiratory viruses for both our staff and the people we serve.

If an employee fails the self-screening assessment, they are to contact the Staff Support Centre (SSC) immediately for instructions at 416-338-2700.

If you have any questions, please feel free to speak with your Superintendent.
