| | | Alberta Children's Hospital | Calgary | Clinic is SELECTIVELY OPEN to researchers | | | | | | | Currently it was open to COVID related research the rest having been working from home for close to 3 months. | Not applicable | | | Alanise Featherstone | There are concerns whether social distancing will be possible if all researchers are given permission to return to the floor. This wing supports Academic medicine and we have 85+ workstations that support up to 130+ researchers. Some desks are shared amongst them. Currently, the only researchers on site are COVID related. In addition, of the 50 admin working on this floor we have only 1/3 currently working on site on a given day to ensure social distancing. I am unsure when AHS is going to change the status for them. Under normal circumstances we could have up to 300 people working in this wing and social distancing will continue to be a issue. We will be working with Dr. Adam Kiron and Nicole Romanov, Research Manager(U OF C) to ensure that this is done with safety in mind. | 5/21/2020 7:44 AM | Alanise Featherstone | 5/21/2020 4:42 PM | Becky Wong |
