21-11-10 Update to Support People Policy

Dear clients of CMK and their support people, 

Due to the recent and concerning increase in COVID-19 cases in the KFL&A region, Community Midwives of Kingston has made the difficult decision to change our policy surrounding the attendance of support people in clinic visits. Effectively immediately, support people will no longer be able to enter the clinic to attend prenatal or postpartum visits. As always, we will continue to monitor the COVID-19 activity in our region, and we hope to return to having support people present for clinic visits as soon as it is safe to do so. In the meantime, we welcome support people to join in virtually via video or by phone and are happy to help you facilitate this. We realize how important it is to have your partners and support people involved in your care. 

The increase in COVID-19 activity is an important reminder to continue to wash your hands, wear masks, get vaccinated, and limit your exposure to people outside your household. 

Thank you for your understanding. 

Community Midwives of Kingston
