Removal of need for sick notes when staff experiencing respiratory illness symptoms: "The Department of Health and Community Services and the regional health authorities are actively working on containment measures for COVID-19. This includes ongoing discussion of human resource issues. The department has heard the concerns from family physicians and unions about sick notes. Asking employees to get a sick note increases the potential spread of infection. Following consultation with the regional health authorities and to address these concerns, regional health authority employees who are exhibiting respiratory illness symptoms will not be required to provide a sick note for absence periods of less than fourteen days. This decision is effective immediately and will be reassessed periodically, as the need arises." https://web.archive.org/web/20201107175141/https://www.gov.nl.ca/releases/2020/health/0310n06/ Plus: Cancelation of all school based travel to Europe: "The Department, along with our colleagues at the Newfoundland and Labrador English School District (NLESD), have been closely monitoring developments related to COVID-19 and student travel plans. Last week, NLESD cancelled tours planned for Northern Italy. The district has now extended cancellations to all European destinations until the end of April.
