Omicron Variant – New protocols at Tisarana
In response to Ontario Health guidelines and due to rising numbers of cases of the Omicron variant in the GTA, Ottawa and Kingston areas, we have decided not to accept any day visitors or overnight guests until further notice.
Please note that this will not affect those already booked to stay with us and neither will this impact the Winter Retreat crew.
For those with confirmed stays, we request that they email the office copies of -ve Covid Test results taken within 24 hrs of arrival as well as their Enhanced Vaccination Certificates.
All danas will be received at the table outside the front door or you may contact the kitchen steward to book and offer dana remotely. For the dana events currently scheduled, we are restricting 5 guests in the sala.
These will remain in effect until January 4th, which is the beginning of our Winter Retreat. All going well, we will resume New Guest Orientations and regular day visits from April 2022.
As we try to keep our communities safe and follow Health Canada/Ontario Health guidelines, we thank you for your patience and understanding.
