Obituary of 陳學源先生 Joseph Chan

陳學源先生 Mr. Hok Yuen Joseph ChanApril 7, 2020 – This directive adds a greater limitation on the number of people who can be at funeral homes, not counting funeral home staff.The new maximum number of people who can be at a funeral home at one time is 10 or fewer. This pertains to the entire funeral home.By March 28 directive had placed the limit at 10 at each funeral or visitation. We now must make this more stringent in order to protect families and funeral home staff. Remember, if only one of your staff members comes down with COVID-19, your funeral home could be closed for two weeks or longer. We need you all open during this very hard time.The funeral home must be large enough for people to maintain physical distancing of at least two metres (six feet) apart from each other at all times, to a maximum of 10 people — in the entire funeral home establishment at one time.Even if you have unlimited space, or are outside, the maximum is 10. The number does not include funeral home staff.Focus on accommodating as few people as possible. The goal is safety for all families and all funeral home staff.Note, that if you advertise a funeral, visitation or gathering in any medium you must state this limitation or link to this directive.Follow this law strictly.Thank you all for the professional and caring work you do for Ontario families every day.Stay vigilant. We are ready…together with you to provide the best, safe bereavement services to Ontario families.This directive is made pursuant to an Emergency Order under the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act.-Carey Smith, CEO/Registrar, BAOhttps://mailchi.mp/20eff0aa3ef8/registrars-directive-10-max-in-the-entire-funeral-home-at-one-time?e=ad6dc26ec0
