We have been informed that an employee at Whiddon Mudgee Pioneer has tested positive to COVID-19. As a precaution, we have activated our COVID-19 response plan to ensure all necessary precautionary measures are implemented. 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.
The risk is considered low, and as such, visitors are still welcome to attend Whiddon Mudgee Pioneer. We do ask that visitors follow our guidelines and stay vigilant due to the heightened risk in our community currently. For now, we are limiting visitors to one per day, per resident, as a precaution.
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 Mudgee Pioneer.
