Outbreak Update
We are pleased to advise that our home is now out of lockdown. If you intend on visiting our home, please be aware that you will need to:
- have your temperature checked before entering
- advise if you have been to any known hotspot locations
- postpone your visit if you do have any flu-like symptoms to reduce the likely spread of any flu-like illnesses.
Visitor restrictions update
In light of the unfolding COVID-19 situation in Sydney, NSW Health has advised that the visitor restrictions announced last week have been extended for further seven days. This applies to Whiddon Easton Park and Whiddon Hornsby.
Visitors must not enter any aged care facility in NSW at all if they:
- have been to any close or casual contact locations in NSW or interstate places of high concern
- have COVID-19 symptoms – fever (37. 5°C or higher) or symptoms of COVID-19
- are a close contact of a person with confirmed COVID-19 and are within their self-isolation period
- live in a household with a person who is currently self-isolating
- are waiting for a COVID-19 test result
Please ensure you don’t visit if you are unwell, stay 1.5 m from others and practice good hand hygiene.
The Chief Health Officer is advising all residential aged care facilities in NSW to implement electronic check-in systems to support efficient contact tracing if positive COVID-19 cases were to occur in a facility. Please remember to check in when visiting by scanning the QR code available in reception areas.
