Proactivity in COVID-19
containment efforts encouraged
It seems as though almost overnight the novel coronavirus
COVID-19 has changed the world. Spread containment efforts have
led to restrictions in travel, public events and social gatherings of all
kinds. It has created closures of restaurants, schools, sports events
and theatre productions and, as the spread extends, restrictions
deepen and become more defined and entrenched. But there is good
to be seen in every difficult situation and, although this virus knows

The CSC has also taken steps to limit spread in restricting access
to the office, in relying on virtual meetings and in enabling remote
work arrangements that ensure continuation of services from the
contained environment of home.
“At times like these, there’s a real need – an imperative – to prioritize
the health and safety of the communities we work and live in and
more specifically each other,” said Gareth Jones, president and CEO
of the Canada Safety Council. “Coronavirus is highly communicable
