The largest union in Nova Scotia says five home-care workers have been forced into self-isolation after they were potentially exposed to COVID-19 in a client’s home.
Jason MacLean, president of the Nova Scotia General Employees Union, told Global News the union learned of possible exposure on Thursday. “We just received word that five home-care workers have been directed to self isolate because they were in a home of a client whose family member has tested positive for COVID”, MacLean said.
MacLean wouldn’t disclose what home-care agency has been impacted by the self-isolation measures, or what part of the province the possible exposure occurred in.
