Dear Families and Friends,
Please be advised that we have had 4 additional team members and 2 residents have tested positive for COVID-19, this will require Whiddon Kyogle to upgrade our current COVID Exposure to a COVID Outbreak.
We are hopeful this will only be for the minimum time indicated which is 7 days from now, however resident who have tested positive has mild symptoms and has 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
- Visit by 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
