Updated November 1, 2023

The toolkit is a collection of tools designed to assist in using the protocol. These tools are referenced in the checklists. Some of the tools are references to materials that are on reliable websites, including Fraser Health, the BC Centre for Disease Control, HealthLinkBC, the Office of the Provincial Health Officer, PICNet BC and the Public Health Agency of Canada.
