Read the Plan

 

We are dedicated to the health and safety of students, faculty and staff. CNC has a Communicable Disease Plan to address the college’s response to illnesses including COVID-19. This plan is consistent with the Government of British Columbia’s return to campus guidelines. 

Current Guidelines

  • If you are sick, stay home and seek medical advice.

Campus Access

For anyone visiting a campus, please:

  • Do not enter any of our campuses if you have symptoms including fever, cough or shortness of breath. Go home, self-isolate and seek medical advice. You can access the COVID-19 self-assessment tool at bc.thrive.health/covid19app or download the BC COVID-19 App on a mobile device; and
  • Clean your hands often with soap and warm water for 20 seconds or using alcohol-based hand sanitizer.

Increased Cleaning

CNC has increased cleaning of high touch areas in the College. The College will adjust its cleaning measures to comply with provincial guidance.

Self-Isolation

Do not enter any of our campuses if you have symptoms including fever, cough or shortness of breath. Go home, self-isolate and seek medical advice. You can access the COVID-19 self-assessment tool at Thrive Health or download the BC COVID-19 App on a mobile device

Self-isolation means you do not have contact with other people. 

Mental Health

This is a difficult and uncertain time, and your mental health is important.
