At ILAC we take the health and safety of our students, staff and homestay families very seriously. We are continually monitoring the development with respect to the Coronavirus (now referred to as COVID-19).
We are continuing with our heightened cleaning routines and availability of hand sanitizers throughout all of our Toronto and Vancouver campuses.
With evolving global cases of the virus, the list of affected areas beyond mainland China now includes Hong Kong, South Korea, Japan, Singapore, Iran and Italy. We have advised our staff and students who have arrived from any of these affected areas to monitor their health for 14 days after their arrival in Canada for symptoms (fever, cough, muscle aches, difficulty breathing) associated with the virus.
Those who develop symptoms should contact:
Toronto Public Health Line: 416-338-7600
BC Provincial Health Line: 811
