30 December 2021
We have been informed that an employee at Whiddon Hornsby has tested positive to COVID-19.
We have been working with the Public Health Unit who have deemed the exposure risk to be low due to all staff wearing N95 masks/face shields & attending rapid antigen tests while on shift. This is in line with NSW Health Risk Assessment matrix. We have also activated our COVID-19 response plan to ensure all necessary precautionary measures are implemented. Our robust COVID-19 management plan means that we have strict protocols in place to avoid spread of the virus across our care homes.
We will be monitoring this closely and at this stage, visitation remains unchanged. If you have any concerns or queries, please contact DCS Suzie Madden to discuss.
We thank you all for your patience and support during this ongoing struggle to keep our residents and staff safe.
