COVID-19 Update: April 7, 2020 – Essential On-Campus Service Changes

Following advice from Ontario’s Chief Medical Officer of Health, on April 3, 2020, the Ontario government updated the list of essential businesses that can remain open. The restrictions are aimed at further reducing contact between people and stopping the spread of COVID-19. 

As a result, Humber is further limiting the number of essential services to operate on campus.  

The services that will remain open (or be available on-call) are: 

  • Residence (Building T – North Campus), with limited food services until April 18
  • Cleaning limited to certain/occupied areas only
  • Public Safety guards and services to secure Humber’s premises
  • Facilities Management staff will be available (on-call) for continued/safe operations of Humber premises, and  
  • Mailroom (on-call basis)

The services that may operate on campus due to essential need, have protocols in place that are in line with guidance from public health authorities including advice, recommendations and instructions on physical distancing, cleaning and disinfecting.  

Under this revised directive, if someone needs to access the college premises, the current process requires employees to secure approval from their director or senior dean. The director or senior dean must contact Public Safety at publicsafety@humber.ca to provide rationale for the visit to ensure access to campus would be permitted.   

Students who are picking up technology needed to complete their studies can still continue to come to campus but only if the pick-up is prearranged.
