An update to Whiddon Kelso families

21 July 2021

In response to a confirmed case of COVID-19 in Blayney, and a number of venues in the Central West identified as locations of concern, we are taking the precautionary step to apply additional measures to help protect your loved ones and our employees and visitors at this time. These measures are:

  • For now, visits are only permitted on weekdays between 8am and 4.30pm (please note that only two visitors per day are permitted, per resident)
  • These visits are by appointment only

If there are exceptional circumstances and you need to visit outside of these hours, approval for this will need to be discussed with the Director Care Services.

If you do visit, please ensure the following:

  • that you wear a mask at all times
  • practice good hand hygiene
  • that you meet in your loved one’s room and maintain social distancing
  • that you check-in through our visitor check-in system and on the Service NSW app
  • do not visit if have been to any close or casual contact locations in NSW or interstate places of high concern
  • do not visit if you are unwell and have COVID-19 symptoms – fever (37. 5°C or higher) or symptoms of COVID-19
  • do not visit if you are a close contact of a person with confirmed COVID-19 and are within their self-isolation period
  • do not visit if you live in a household with a person who is currently self-isolating
  • do not visit if you are waiting for a COVID-19 test result

    We will advise in writing of any changes to these new arrangements.
