Since our last update to you, we are pleased to let you know that our Residents from Taylor House who had tested positive to COVID-19 have now recovered. There are currently no residents in either Taylor House or Arthur Webb Court with COVID-19.
Unfortunately, in Easton Park Units and Sir David Martin a further three residents have tested positive to COVID-19. Families of these residents have all been made aware of the situation. Pleasingly, other residents in these areas that were positive COVID-19 have since recovered.
As cases of COVID-19 continue to rise in our community, we continue to follow the advise of our local public health unit and restrict visitations for now. Only visits for essential caring or on compassionate grounds will be permitted on approval, and residents are strongly encouraged to not leave the care home for now. We hope to be in the position to be able to welcome back visitors very soon to AWC and Taylor House early next week. We will provide details about this on Monday.
As previously mentioned, we have activated our COVID-19 response plan to ensure all necessary precautionary measures are implemented and our employees continue to wear full PPE. We have also continued to conduct rapid antigen testing onsite, to complement our strict screening processes and robust COVID-19 protocols.
We want to thank you all for your patience and understanding during this time. We know this has been difficult and we want to ensure you that our teams are doing everything they can to keep your loved ones safe and happy. Our teams will continue to work hard to facilitate phone and video calls where they can, as we know how important it is for residents to stay connected with you.
We will provide you with a further update early next week.
