COVID-19 Diagnosis and DCM’s policy

Dickenson Condo Management believes in transparency during this time of a COVID-19 pandemic.  This policy has been informed by the information provided by the Government and Middlesex Health Unit.  A COVID-19 diagnosis shouldn’t be something you’re scared to report.

If you have been diagnosed with or suspect you are sick with COVID-19:

1. Please contact the Middlesex Health Unit to ask how you should proceed.  It’s very important you self-report, so the Health Unit can be sure cases are properly reported and the Province can allocate the proper resources to each City.
2. Please contact Dickenson Condo Management and let us know.  Your privacy will be protected from your neighbours and other owners.
3. We will send you a letter confirming your obligations.
4. We’ll check in with you every two weeks, to make sure you’re ok.  Once you’re cleared, we won’t need to touch base as often.

In a Townhouse, the following steps will be followed if someone in the Corporation is diagnosed with COVID-19 :

3. Create letter to owner and resident of their obligations to isolate
