MO-4623

A media requester sought access to information regarding COVID-19 workplace outbreaks from a health unit. After notifying the workplaces, the health unit denied access to the information claiming disclosure would reveal third party information (section 10(1)), endanger the health or safety of an individual (section 13), and result in an unjustified invasion of personal privacy (section 14(1)).
In this order, the adjudicator finds that portions of the records containing the personal information of identifiable individuals qualify for exemption because disclosure would constitute an unjustified invasion of personal privacy. The adjudicator finds that no mandatory or discretionary exemption applies to the remaining information at issue. The health unit is ordered to disclose most of the withheld records but for portions found exempt under section 14(1).
