Provincial announcement affects day treatment programs at SickKids CCMH

If you need emergency help, please call 911, go to your local emergency department, or call a local distress centre or crisis service.

On Monday, Dec. 21, Premier Ford announced that all of southern Ontario would be under a 28-day lockdown starting at 12:01 a.m. on Dec. 26 due to increasing community transmission risk and reduced hospital capacities.

As SickKids CCMH is an essential service, we are able to continue providing in-person services as needed to our clients (see our safety guidelines). Our virtual care options also continue.

The following services areas will be impacted due to these new restrictions.

  • Day treatment in Intensive Services for Children (ISFC) and Intensive Services for Youth (ISFY) programs will resume virtually only on Jan. 4, 2021
  • Day treatment in ISFC will resume in-person on Jan. 11
  • Day treatment in ISFY will resume in-person on Jan. 25
  • In-home services are being provided virtually and through onsite in-person visits only
  • In-person community visits are continuing where appropriate but must take place in manager-approved settings where full screening and full Infection Prevention and Control measures are in place
  • In-person onsite, virtual, and phone sessions are still available 
  • EarlyON gatherings will continue to be 100% virtual

For more information on COVID-19 restrictions and guidelines, please refer to the COVID-19 City of Toronto site. If you have any questions about your care, please ask your clinician.
