Update for Whiddon Belmont Families

We write to advise that there has been a positive case in the Hostel area. The family of the resident involved has been contacted.

We are working closely with the local Public Health Unit, and have extended our Outbreak Management Plan to apply across all areas of Whiddon Belmont, including the four Hostels.

During this period, residents are asked to remain in their rooms and visitations are restricted to compassionate and essential visits only. All visits must be pre-booked; visitors will be asked to complete a RAT test upon arrival and wear PPE for the duration of their visit.

For any queries, or if you have any concerns, please contact Jo Peterson, Director of Care, on 0438 183 645.

We thank you for your support and will provide further updates as the situation evolves.
