Hornby Island Co-op COVID-19 Response Plan Update
March 25, 2020
Dear Hornby Island Co-op and Community Members,
We are Closing the Grocery floor to the public after Saturday, March 29, 2020 for an indefinite period.
Why have we made this difficult decision?
The Co-op is part of the essential service infrastructure on Hornby, along with medical response, emergency response, health care etc…Resources that are limited by our island nature. Protective measures above and beyond what is being mandated or suggested by guidelines is necessary to protect this infrastructure.
In order to flatten the COVID-19 virus transmission curve, everyone on Hornby must be practicing frequent hand-washing, sanitizing frequent touch surfaces, social and physical distancing, and remembering Don’t Touch Your Face! This is what you can do.
The Co-op has done everything we can up to this point.
We have decided to close the Grocery Floor to provide additional protection for the Co-op staff and to ensure to the best of our ability that we can continue to provide uninterrupted service to our community.
