Dear Residents, Families, and Friends
We are pleased to announce that Whiddon Maclean is now a COVID-free zone, this means that masks are also no longer necessary.
Updated Guidelines
- Masks are no longer required unless there are moderate or high levels of respiratory viruses circulating in the community
- Rapid antigen testing for employees will move to every 72 hours for the next 4 weeks
- Rapid antigen testing for each visitor will continue unless they are daily visitors, who can revert to testing every 72 hours
- All adults aged 75 years and older are recommended to receive an additional 2023 COVID-19 vaccine dose if 6 months have passed since their last dose
- We will continue the early use of anti-virals for residents testing positive for influenza or COVID
- Restrictions remain in place for entry to services if an employee or visitor has tested positive for COVID or has respiratory symptoms
- Staff are strongly encouraged to stay up-to-date with all recommended vaccines including COVID-19 and influenza
Thank you
The Whiddon Team
