The College is closely monitoring the spread of COVID-19 as it relates to the practice of the profession. It is important for our members to continue to stay updated about the COVID-19 situation as it continually evolves. The College created a new COVID-19 Information and Updates page where you can access links to up-to-date resources, including FAQs, Emergency Registration for the COVID-19 Pandemic and the Alberta Health Services COVID-19 self-assessment tool for healthcare workers. We will also continue to update our COVID-19 FAQs page to reflect current circumstances and to answer more questions.

There are effective infection prevention and control methods in place across the health system in Alberta. As a regulated member, you can protect yourself and your patient and lower the risk of infection by:

• Using good hygiene practices, such as frequent hand-washing
• Utilizing personal protective equipment (PPE) appropriately
• Adhering with AHS routine practices, including isolation procedures
• Cleaning and disinfecting equipment and high touch areas as per routine practice
