Further to our last update, our COVID-19 outbreak management plan remains in place to ensure that all necessary precautionary measures are implemented. We have had one further resident who has tested positive. All residents are doing well.
Pleasingly, we have not had any further employees test positive to COVID-19.
As per the advice of the local Public Health Unit, we continue to undertake ongoing COVID-19 testing of residents. We are awaiting the test results from last week and further testing has been completed today.
Please be reminded that we have restricted visitation to one visitor per resident at this time (for compassionate or essential visits only). These visits must be pre-booked.
Employees must continue to wear full PPE (N95 masks, face shields, gown and gloves), complete a rapid antigen test, and social distancing must be observed at all times.
All visitors are required to undertake rapid antigen testing as a condition of entry to Whiddon Wee Waa and will be asked to wear an N95 mask and face shield, which will be provided upon entry to the home.
We continue to work closely with the local Public Health Unit and following their advice. 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 understanding and support and will provide a further update later in the week.
