Dear Members,
As Canadians continue to do their part and vaccination rates across the country continue to rise, we are beginning to see adjustments to public health measures and restrictions in various provinces ease. As such, we are pleased to issue an updated fourth iteration of Safe Stay.
Recent guidance issued by the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) suggests that fully vaccinated individuals are not required to wear masks in the following circumstances:
- outdoors with a small group of fully vaccinated individuals;
- indoors with a small group of fully vaccinated individuals; or
- outdoors with people from multiple households who are unvaccinated, partially vaccinated, or their vaccination status is unknown.
PHAC acknowledges that guidance between Provinces and municipalities may vary; therefore, local guidelines should always be followed if they differ from PHAC's guidance.
Throughout the pandemic, more than 2,200 Canadian hotels have turned to Safe Stay guidance to assist their operations. This guideline, which was developed by the American Hotel & Lodging Association and adopted for Canadian hotels in accordance with recommended health practices from PHAC, will continue to provide every hotel in Canada with enhanced cleaning and safety protocols that can be implemented in the hotel environment in order to keep both guests and employees safe.
