10 August 2022
We have been working closely with the local Public Health Unit (PHU) and can provide you all with an update on the COVID-19 outbreak at Whiddon Casino.
Residents from the first floor, Lindwall have now passed their 10-day isolation period and can move around within their area. At this stage, visitations are still restricted to one nominated-partner-in-care as we wait for the last round of PCR tests today and confirmation from the local PHU that the outbreak is declared over.
Unfortunately, there has been a small number of residents test positive on ground floor, Cedars and we have now activated our COVID-19 outbreak management plan. All families have been notified and the residents are experiencing mild cold like symptoms. For now, visitations are restricted to one nominated-partner-in-care, and residents who are testing negative may leave the home for medical appointments.
We thank you for your assistance and will provide a further update in the coming days.
