Further to our update to you last week, the small number of residents who were showing symptoms of respiratory illness have pleasingly, returned negative PCR test results.
Since our last update, we have had an additional two employees test positive to COVID-19. We have implemented our COVID-19 Outbreak Management Plan to ensure all necessary precautionary measures are implemented. This includes residents staying in their rooms for now as a precaution.
We continue to work closely with the local Public Health Unit and continue to follow their advice and our employees are wearing full personal protective equipment (PPE).
Only visits for essential caring or on compassionate grounds such as end of life will be permitted and residents are strongly encouraged to not leave the care home for now, again as a precautionary measure.
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 thank you for your support and understanding.
