Further to our last update to inform you that a resident at Whiddon Hornsby had tested positive to COVID-19, we have now had three more residents test positive. These residents are doing well and are being closely monitored.
As a precaution, visitation remains restricted for now. Only compassionate visits for end of life will be permitted at this time. Residents are strongly encouraged not to leave the care home for now, again as a precautionary measure.
We continue to work closely with the local Public Health Unit and follow their advice. As previously mentioned, we have activated our COVID-19 response plan to ensure all necessary precautionary measures are implemented and our employees are wearing full PPE.
We have also been conducting rapid antigen testing onsite, to complement our strict screening processes and robust COVID-19 protocols. This will continue at this time.
We understand that this is a challenging time for everyone, but 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 you with a further update early next week.
