As you may have heard, a number of local government areas in the Hunter region will be placed into a COVID-19 lockdown from 5pm this evening. This includes the Maitland local government area where Whiddon Largs is located.
Under this lockdown, it means that for now, we are unable to permit visitors to Whiddon Largs, unless under exceptional circumstances and with approval from the Director of Care Services. The lockdown is expected to continue until midnight on 12 August.
We understand that this is a difficult time and we thank you for your patience. Our teams will be working hard to help keep you connected to your loved ones during this time through phone and video calls, wherever possible.
While this measure comes into effect from 5pm, we do encourage you to consider delaying your visit from now, so we can take as many precautions as possible to help keep everyone safe.
We will provide a further update once we know more.
