Dear Families, Friends & Representatives,
We would like to advise all families that there is currently a Gastroenteritis outbreak at Whiddon Wingham affecting the whole facility. Families of residents who are directly affected have been notified.
To assist in controlling the outbreak, we strongly encourage you to delay your visit where possible to protect your own wellbeing and to avoid any further potential spread.
If visiting a resident with symptoms, you will be required to wear a gown, masks, gloves and face shields. All persons will be required to wear masks while in any area of the facility.
We remind everyone of the importance of correct hand washing procedures to help prevent any further spread.
Further updates will be provided in due course, and we thank you for your understanding during this time.
