C3LR COVID Info

The C3LR is a clinical simulation centre. Our PPE guidelines are based on those set for clinical practice areas such as NSH and the IWK.

Masks are REQUIRED in all common areas/hallways/entrances/meeting rooms/work areas.
Masks are REQUIRED in all simulation areas when programming is in session.
Medical masks will be available as you enter the C3LR as well as throughout the hallways and simulation areas.
Masks are not required but are recommended for office areas or meeting rooms outside of simulation programming with learners.
Simulation scenarios may require additional PPE such as eye protection with face shields, e.g., high-risk aerosol-generating procedures such as airway procedures.
There may be special situations when masking is not appropriate at certain times; based on the simulation (e.g., oral/nasal/airway assessment). These situations will be communicated in advance and part of the recruitment information sent to SPs.

Stay at home
You are considered recovered when you are no longer infectious for COVID-19. Typically, this is
- Seven full days after the start of symptoms or from the date of the positive test (if no symptoms)
- AND symptoms have been improving for at least 24 hours (or 48 hours if you have gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea or vomiting)
- AND you don’t have a fever
Some people may have a lingering cough, particularly if they are prone to chronic cough. However, if they meet the criteria above, they are no longer considered infectious.
- With a persistent/chronic cough, masking is recommended when in public.
Testing again soon after a positive test is not recommended. You do not need a negative test to be considered recovered.
