Moisson Montr\u00e9al Activates Measures to Avoid the Spread of COVID-19<\/strong><\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/h2>\n

Montreal, March 13, 2020 – In order to ensure the safety and security of all Quebecers who receive food donations from our various partner organizations, Moisson Montr\u00e9al has put in place preventative measures with regards to the evolving COVID-19.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur priority is to ensure the continued distribution of essential services to our community organizations, while taking all necessary preventative measures recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO), Canada\u2019s Public Health Agency, Premier Fran\u00e7ois Legault\u2019s Office, the Sant\u00e9 et Service Sociaux du Qu\u00e9bec\u2019s Office, as well as Quebec\u2019s Office for Public Safety,\u201d explains Richard D. Daneau, Executive Director of Moisson Montr\u00e9al.<\/p>\n

New Preventative Measures<\/strong><\/p>\n

All persons visiting Moisson Montr\u00e9al locations, whether an employee, volunteer, member of an accredited community organization or simply a visitor, must, from now on, complete a form and declare the following:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Have they travelled outside the country in the last 14 days
\n\u2022 Do they live with someone who has travelled outside the country in the last 14 days
\n\u2022 Have they been infected by COVID-19
\n\u2022 Are they exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19
\n\u2022 Do they live with someone who has symptoms of COVID-19<\/p>\n

If they answer yes to any of the above questions, the person will be refused access.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, special sanitary hygiene measure have been put in place to reduce the risk of contraction or transmission.<\/p>\n

Reduced Work Teams<\/strong><\/p>\n

Management has decided to reduce the scale at each warehouse workstation, to a maximum of only 10 volunteers per station, in order to reduce the number of people grouped together in one area.<\/p>\n

Moisson Montr\u00e9al needs at least 85 volunteers to operate and ensure food distribution to our 250 partner organizations. Considering the economic and social consequences or this pandemic, vulnerable people will also need food aid. It is therefore important that Moisson Montr\u00e9al continue to supply these organizations that fulfill 567,000 monthly requests for food aid on the island of Montreal. With these newly implemented sanitation measures, our volunteers can continue to offer services safely.<\/p>\n
