Objectives

Public Health Ontario is hosting quarterly community of practice (CoP) meetings to support Infection Prevention and Control (IPAC) programs in Primary Care settings.  

The October sessions will be held on several dates and times for different regions. The focus will be on using the Core IPAC checklist for clinical settings to help assess baseline IPAC programs along with strategies to implement additional IPAC measures as the risks of COVID-19 transmission changes.
