Dear colleagues<\/p>\n

I\u2019m back after a few days out of the Metro North Emergency Operations Centre and oh, how things change quickly during this pandemic. As we progress through the week, it is quickly becoming clear that there is no such thing as settling into \u2018a routine\u2019.\u00a0 Key words remain \u2013 flexible, agile, fluid…. – prepared!!.<\/p>\n

We are reviewing our Covid Response plan, given that our contain and sustain activities have been so effective to date. We will soon begin graded re-introduction health service activities so we can continue to provide important procedures and services for our patients as well as maintaining our preparedness posture in the event that case numbers increase. Other activities will include evaluation of our response to date and development of recovery strategies to guide our activities for the remainder of 2020.<\/p>\n

I encourage you to keep a watchful eye on the messages released by Shaun (our CE), Jackie (our COO), Alanna and I so you can keep up to date with the latest information as it becomes available.<\/p>\n
