Working in a bubble during the pandemic

Many workplaces are essential for our health care, our supply chains, or the economy and are under immense pressure to stay open. The work bubble is one strategy that can be used to open businesses while limiting the risk of COVID-19 outbreaks. In this podcast, Dr. Jeffrey Shaw and Ms. Hayley Wickenheiser explain the work bubble concept. They also describe how a large Canadian company, Bombardier, applied the principles with much success. Dr. Jeffrey Shaw is a cardiologist and ICU physician in Calgary and is also currently a fellow at the University of Calgary Cumming School of Medicine. Ms. Hayley Wickenheiser is a fourth year medical student at the University of Calgary and was formerly an Olympic hockey athlete.
