We have had an employee at Whiddon Casino test positive to COVID-19. We are working closely with the local Public Health Unit and following their advice, and have activated our COVID-19 outbreak management plan to ensure all necessary precautionary measures are implemented.
We’re pleased to note that after conducting our risk assessments, we have identified the risk of transmission as low as a result of PPE Compliance and minimal time exposure. In addition, the employee did test negative to their Rapid Antigen Test prior to starting their shift.
Our robust COVID-19 management plan means that we have strict protocols in place to avoid potential spread of the virus across our care home. We are conducting Rapid Antigen Testing to the Ground Floor Cedars West wing as an extra precaution. For now, we are requesting that visitations occur for essential reasons only.
We understand that this is a challenging time for everyone, but we want you to know that it is our highest priority to keep everyone in our family safe and well, and we are doing everything we can to achieve this.
We thank you for your support and understanding.
