Dear Families and Friends,
Please be advised that we have had some Residents and Staff test positive for COVID-19 today 26/12/22 and as such, Whiddon Casino now meets the definition for a COVID 19 Outbreak.
We are hopeful this will only be for the minimum time indicated which is 7 days from now, however, residents who have tested positive or have mild symptoms and have been placed into isolation with full precautions.
Please note, visiting residents can continue under these guidelines:
- Please refrain from visiting unless necessary
- All visits need to be booked prior to arrival
- Visits of maximum of 2 people to the residents’ room or external garden
- Negative RAT prior to entry
- Screening Questions completed prior to entry
- Facemask and Face Shield to be worn at all times when inside the home including the residents’ room.
Please be mindful of the additional requirements on the staff during an Outbreak and be patient during this time, especially on days when there is limited administration support at the front door.
Further update will be issued towards the end of the week.
The Whiddon Team
