Dear Families, Friends & Representatives,
Please be advised that we are currently experiencing an Influenza outbreak at our care home, with both residents and team members affected by the virus.
To assist minimising the impact of the outbreak, please ensure you are not infectious or spent time with people who have been experiencing flu-like symptoms, as the virus is highly prevalent in the Wee Waa community.
If you are unwell then please postpone your visit and we ask families to limit the number of visits and number of visitors in your group.
We are happy to work with you if you are symptomatic and still wish to visit – please call the facility first to ensure staff can facilitate a safe visit with your loved one.
We are working closely with our GP’s and the Public Health Unit and continue to monitor the situation.
Thank you for your patience, support and commitment to resident and employee safety.
– The Whiddon Team
