This decision was made in consultation with the Chief Medical Officer of Health and other health experts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"stay-at-home-order\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stay at Home Order<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The stay at home order requires everyone to remain at home with exceptions for permitted purposes or activities, such as going to the grocery store or pharmacy, accessing health care services, for exercise or for work where the work cannot be done remotely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Accordingly, in line with provincial regulations during the state of emergency and stay at home order, everyone is asked to limit trips outside of their home. All employees (including faculty, course instructors and staff) are only permitted to come to campus to maintain essential operations and perform necessary work &#8211; including research. <strong>Any work that can be done from home, must be done from home<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, indoor gatherings are not permitted, and outdoor gatherings are limited to a maximum of &nbsp;five people as long as you can keep two metres of physical distance from each other. Everyone should also wear a mask or face covering. All in-person 杏吧原创 conferences, events, on-campus video and photoshoots, etc. are suspended until further notice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"accessing-campus\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Accessing Campus<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If accessing campus is necessary, for example to retrieve materials necessary to continue working remotely, temporary access is possible through the <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/covid19\/return-to-campus\/accessing-campus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">approved building access protocols<\/a>. This includes temporarily accessing your office to collect books and materials that will assist in teaching. All employees must continue to complete the <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/covid19\/screening\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">COVID-19 Screening Form<\/a> each day before coming to campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have any questions regarding whether or not you can access campus for essential reasons, please discuss this with your manager, supervisor, chair or dean. Case-by-case support is available to managers, supervisors, chairs and deans through the Return to Campus committee. Please email <a href=\"mailto:covidinfo@carleton.ca\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">covidinfo@carleton.ca<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"accommodations-leave-for-child-care-responsibilities\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Accommodations\/Leave For Child Care Responsibilities<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>We are committed to continuing to support all of our employees with their caregiving responsibilities. Reasonable accommodations can be requested from your manager, supervisor or dean. This may include working alternate hours, other flexibility options, requesting a leave (e.g., special, annual) from work, or a combination of these options. Managers and supervisors should check with Human Resources (<a href=\"mailto:humanresources@carleton.ca\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">humanresources@carleton.ca<\/a>) or, in the case of faculty, with the Office of the Deputy Provost, before implementing an alternative arrangement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"reach-out-for-support\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reach Out For Support<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>We know this is a challenging time for all members of our community and we encourage any employee and their family members &nbsp;who need support to reach out to the Employee &amp; Family Assistance Program (EFAP) by calling 1-877-725-5676 or through the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fseap.ca\/myfseap\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">myfseap.ca<\/a>&nbsp;portal.
