It is important to note that Public Health Measures (PHM) and advice are continuously evolving, thus the approach will be revisited on an ongoing basis to ensure proper compliance. Should individual requirements/responsibilities change, staff will be informed in a timely manner by their Chain of Command.

# '''Personal Protective Equipment''' is medical- and industrial-grade equipment primarily designed to protect you from infection by pathogens like COVID-19 when performing tasks/duties that may bring you into close contact with carriers or suspected carriers of the disease and/or their belongings. It includes specially designed masks, gloves, and eye protection. Medical-grade Personal Protective Equipment also protects others who are in close proximity to the wearer from possible COVID-19 infection. When wearing Personal Protective Equipment, it’s important to still maintain Public Health Measures like physical distancing and proper hand washing.

NEW OTTAWA CITY BYLAW – MANDATORY USE OF MASKS/FACE COVERINGS IN ENCLOSED PUBLIC SPACES​
 +
 
 +
As the fight against COVID-19 continues and with the differing phases of restrictions across our country, various levels of government authorities (municipal/provincial/territorial) may invoke health orders specific to their public health jurisdictions. With increasing scientific evidence of the use of masks as an important measure in reducing COVID-19 transmission, Ottawa Public Health has introduced temporary bylaws requiring the use of masks/face coverings in enclosed public spaces (acceptable exemptions defined within the bylaws at the links above).
 +
 
 +
In support of localized Public Health orders, PSPC will apply these measures in publicly accessible spaces of their assets within the geographical areas for which the bylaws apply; appropriate signage will be installed to the imposed requirements. This includes DND facilities in the NCR.
 +
 
 +
While each building is unique, spaces that can be publicly accessed without the use of a security access card or escort will comply with local bylaws. Examples of public spaces include areas leading up to security points and public-facing service offerings. Once security control points have been passed, the requirement to wear a mask/face covering is not mandatory; however, the DM/CDS Joint Directive - DND/CAF COVID-19 Public Health Measures and Personal Protection applies and is to be followed by all.
 +
 
 +
In the DND workplace, the CDS/DM Directive directed:
 +
* all personnel are required to self-assess prior to entering the workplace;
 +
* all those same personnel have taken the COVID Awareness course on the DLN prior to reporting to the workplace;
 +
* all DND/CAF pers to wear NMM when 2m distancing can't be maintained;
 +
* completion of onboarding training with their supervisor on the PHM in the workplace;
 +
* the workplace has been prepared to maximize physical distancing wherever possible including protocols like one-way hallways/stairways/doors; and cleaning protocols ensure high touch areas are cleaned more frequently.
 +
These same safety measures cannot be assured in a public location nor with the members of the public themselves, so the mandatory wearing of masks is a strategy to reduce that risk in those locations.  These measures serve to reduce the risk to our employees within the DND workplace.​

* '''Where possible, use open source standards, and open source software first'''
  −
** While OSS is not a silver bullet several common misconceptions are used as arguments against Open Source software:
  −
*** A misconception with security is that with the code out of the eyes of the public that it prevents successful attacks and lowers liability, however in reality Security Best practices state that 'System security should not depend on the secrecy of the implementation or its components', and as Open Source development relies n hardening (or improving the security) of code it is often equal or more secure then proprietary solutions.
  −
*** A misconception with support is that a support contract or license some how ensures that the proprietary system will receive improvements and patches, but in reality there is no obligation for a vendor to do so, while Open Source software survives by having a vibrant and helpful support community. Average resolution of issues are solved faster then in proprietary software by the very nature of crowd sourcing reducing the barrier of communication with a single entity or individual.
     −
* '''If an open source option is not available or does not meet user needs, favour platform-agnostic COTS over proprietary COTS, avoiding technology dependency, allowing for substitutability and interoperability'''

−
** Vendor lock is a real concern in the Development of Applications, and when propietary COTS applications are selected it increases the difficulty of ever moving to a new system, and any integration or interoperability functions.
  −
* '''If a custom-built application is the appropriate option, by default any source code written by the government must be released in an open format via Government of Canada website and services designated by the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat'''
  −
** It is important to reduce the duplication of effort that has occurred due to segmented mandates, and increase collaboration and sharing across Departments and Agencies. Crown Corporations, Provincial and Municipal Governments as well as the Public at large who can benefit from new and innovative products and services based off of creations from the Government.
  −
** Major benefits can occur not just from publishing the Software, but in developing Guidance the quality of software increases, while publishing Lessons Learned, White Papers and any other technical documentation can assist others in the future by providing templates and baselines.
  −
** For assistance in how to do this, you can view the[https://github.com/canada-ca/open-source-logiciel-libre/blob/master/en/guides/publishing-open-source-code.md TBS Guidance on Open Source Publishing]
  −
** Setting up shared teams for common problems where Developers from multiple departments can produce better solutions. Virtual Teams using open tools can enable rapid development in absence of collocation.
  −
* '''All open source code must be released under an appropriate open source software license'''
  −
** It is important to ensure that the License chosen for OSS protects the rights of Government of Canada and Public Servants while enabling the use and re-use of software. Guidance can be found [https://github.com/canada-ca/open-source-logiciel-libre/blob/master/en/guides/publishing-open-source-code.md#select-open-source-software-licence here].
  −
* '''Expose public data to implement Open Data and Open Information initiatives'''
  −
** Scientific Innovation can occur from exposing Data to interested members of the activists, researchers, students and the public at large.
  −
** Define Metadata for your application early in both English and French to support your release to https://open.canada.ca/en/open-data
  −
** Development following the [https://www.canada.ca/en/government/system/digital-government/modern-emerging-technologies/government-canada-standards-apis.html Government of Canada Standards on APIs] can allow rapid uptake into Open Data feeds.

* '''Expose all functionality as services'''
  −
** Do not hide services under assumptions that someone would not find value in a service - often innovation can be bred from exposed services beyond it's original plan.
  −
** Follow the 'eat your own dogfood' mantra - in that all functionality should be a service that you consume.
  −
* '''Use microservices built around business capabilities. Scope each service to a single purpose'''
  −
** Focus on smallest unit of purpose, and developing a single function.
  −
* '''Run each IT service in its own process and have it communicate with other services through a well-defined interface, such as a HTTPS-based [https://www.canada.ca/en/government/publicservice/modernizing/government-canada-standards-apis.html application programming interface (API)]à'''

** Ensure that services are accessible via common methodologies, and follow the [https://www.canada.ca/en/government/system/digital-government/modern-emerging-technologies/government-canada-standards-apis.html Government of Canada Standards on APIs]
  −
* '''Run applications in containers'''
  −
** Ensure containers contain a single application, and build the smallest image possible.
  −
** Ensure containers are properly versioned and tagged.

* '''Leverage the [[gccollab:groups/profile/1238235/engovernment-of-canada-digital-exchangefru00c9change-numu00e9rique-du-gouvernement-du-canada|GC Digital Exchange Platform]] for components such as the API Store, Messaging, and the GC Service Bus'''
