We want our licensees to have backup when and if they need it as Omicron spreads in every part of our population, including the bereavement sector,\u201d says Smith.&nbsp;<br><br>Humber College and Coll\u00e8ge Bor\u00e9al received the authorization from Smith on Jan. 6 to make their students available to work in the bereavement sector prior to the completion of their studies. Students will still be required to complete their full program of studies to obtain their graduation diplomas and be eligible for licensure in the bereavement sector.<br><br>\u201cI issued the same authorization in 2020 at the start of the pandemic, but there is no internship included in this one. This new authorization is part of our strategy during the Omicron wave to make sure the public continues to be well served by our sector as the virus threatens to take staff temporarily offline,\u201d Smith says.<br><br>\u201cThis is very much in keeping with other preventive steps the BAO has taken such as our Expedited Death Response for hospitals and long-term care facilities in 2020 and 2021.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He adds, &#8220;These proactive steps only work because our professionals across the sector implement them.
