Update to Whiddon Easton Park families

1 April 2022

Further to our last update, we have had additional residents and employees test positive to COVID-19 in Sir David Martin Level 2Taylor House Level 2 and Easton Park Units Level 3.

Please be assured that if your loved one has tested positive to COVID-19, you would have been notified directly by our care team.

We are working closely with the local Public Health Unit (PHU) and they have advised that residents in the immediate vicinity of the positive person are isolated to their room for the moment. All other residents are required to stay in the immediate areas adjacent to their room. They are still able to access the facilities in that area, such as the lounge areas.

The local PHU have also advised that all residents, despite their location may have a one visitor. That is, each resident may nominate one consistent visitor that may continue to visit for the duration of the lock down.

If you are visiting a red zone (where there is an affected resident), you will be required to wear full PPE when you visit. For all other areas (amber zones) you will be required to wear a N95 mask and eye protection such as face shield.

Residents are also strongly encouraged not to leave the care home at this time, as a precaution.

We thank you for your understanding and support. We want you to know that it is our highest priority to keep everyone in our family safe and well, and we are doing everything we can to achieve this. We will provide a further update to you early next week.
