COVID-19 cases are ramping up and vaccines are rolling out. How will it impact your workplace? Can employers require employees to get #COVID19 tests or vaccines? What are the considerations for a workplace testing & vaccination policy? Get the answers at bit.ly/3djCz1Z.

#nlpoli Please be kind to reporters taking part in the COVID-19 briefings. We're just doing our jobs - and sometimes that means making mistakes! Sometimes, that also means re-asking a question to get a better, fuller answer.

Eastern Health announces that for women giving birth partners can now stay longer than 4 hours, but once they leave they can’t come back, so telling people to bring all the supplies they need #covid19nfld

@PremierofNL @Johnrockdoc @EasternHealthNL many other jurisdictions haven’t taken away post-labour support person during peak COVID cases. Why here? What’s the logic? Support person is essential to mom’s mental health and recovery @PeterCBC @KellyAnneNTV

I’ve spoken with Minister @Johnrockdoc tonight to offer federal assistance. We’re helping with contact tracing, and providing support with epidemiologists and our National Microbiology Lab. The people of Newfoundland and Labrador are strong, and we stand ready to support them.

Hold fast Newfoundland and Labrador. ♥️
