In response to a small number of employees and residents in the Violet Wing of Whiddon Beaudesert Star testing positive to COVID-19, all residents in this area are being asked to stay within the Violet Wing for now as a precaution. The local Public Health Unit have advised that all residents and employees at Whiddon Beaudesert Star will need to be tested for COVID-19 via PCR testing, as a precaution. Until the results of these tests are returned to us, Public Health Unit have advised only compassionate or essential visits are permitted at this time (which must be pre-booked).
Employees must wear an N95 mask and face shield, and full PPE in the Violet Wing. They must also complete a rapid antigen test, and social distancing must be observed at all times.
We have activated our COVID-19 outbreak management plan to ensure all precautionary measures are in place and continue to work closely with the local Public Health Unit and are following their advice.
We thank you for your dedication and support during this time.
