Further to our update to you last week about an employee testing positive to COVID-19, we have been informed that an additional employee has tested positive. Currently, no residents at Whiddon Belmont have tested positive to COVID-19.
While the risk of potential exposure is considered low, as a precaution, we are asking residents’ families to consider delaying their visit for now if they can. If they do need to visit, they will be asked to wear an N95 mask, face shield and gown, and complete a RA test.
Employees must continue to wear full PPE (N95 masks, face shields, gown and gloves), complete a rapid antigen test, and social distancing must be observed at all times, including the staff room and nurses station.
We ask that if you have any concerns to please speak to your manager in the first instance. Please also remember our confidential EAP service contactable 24/7 on 1800 818 728.
We encourage you to have your Booster shot and send evidence of your vaccination to payroll@whiddon.com.au at your earliest convenience. Eligibility for booster shots are for those that have had their second dose at least 4 months ago.
Thank you for your ongoing support and dedication to Whiddon Belmont.
