Following from our last update, we have had a number of staff and residents test positive to COVID-19.
COVID positive cases are being contained to the first floor of Whiddon Casino and visitation remains limited to one nominated partner-in-care for those on the first floor. Partners-in-care must book their visits prior to visiting our care home. All visitors are required to complete a rapid antigen test as a condition of entry, wear an N95 mask and may be asked to wear additional PPE at this time, such as a face shield. Please refrain from visiting if you are unwell.
We are currently being supported by a representative of the Commonwealth COVID Management Team and have been provided additional staff to support our team through the Surge Workforce Support Program.
We thank you for your patience and assistance during this time and will provide an update on Monday, 1 August.
