Despite high rates of vaccination among residents and workers in the health care sector, the highly transmissible delta variant is continuing to cause breakthrough infections in seniors’ care and living settings. And where there are COVID-19 cases, there are COVID-19 claims.

Join us on October 7, 2021, for an in-depth explanation on how the WorkSafe BC “presumptive clause” applies to COVID-19 claims in the long-term care (CU #766011), community health support (CU #766006), and retirement living (CU #766018) sectors.

Co-hosted by BCCPA and SafeCare BC, and facilitated by Lauren Thom, Client ervices Manager for WorkSafeBC, this webinar will address questions such as:

  • What is the presumptive clause and how does to apply to SARS-CoV-2?
  • What does the presumptive clause mean for claims costs in the seniors’ care and living sector? 
  • What factors are taken into account during an investigative claim for COVID-19?
  • What role does asymptotic transmission play?

Time will also be provided to address questions from attendees—delegates are encouraged to submit their questions in advance to lara@bccare.ca.
