Three employees at Whiddon Kyogle have tested positive to COVID-19. As a precaution, visitation will be limited to compassionate grounds or for essential caring only.
We have activated our COVID-19 Management Outbreak Plan. Our robust COVID-19 management plan means that we have strict protocols in place to avoid potential spread of the virus across our care home. We are also working with the local Public Health Unit and are awaiting any further advice.
Employees must wear full PPE (N95 masks, face shields, gown and gloves), complete a rapid antigen test, and social distancing must be observed at all times, including the staff room and nurses station.
We ask that if you have any concerns to please speak to your manager in the first instance. Please also remember our confidential EAP service contactable 24/7 on 1800 818 728.
We encourage you to have your Booster shot and send evidence of your vaccination to payroll@whiddon.com.au at your earliest convenience. Eligibility for booster shots are for those that have had their second dose at least 4 months ago.
Thank you for your ongoing support and dedication to Whiddon Kyogle.
