We wanted to inform you that two employees from Whiddon Wingham have tested positive to COVID-19. As a precaution, employees are wearing full PPE and completing a rapid antigen test before they commence their shift.
We have activated our COVID-19 response plan to ensure all necessary precautionary measures are implemented. While potential exposure to residents is not considered high risk, we are restricting visitation to compassionate visits only for now, such as end of life. Residents are currently staying in their rooms as a precaution at this time and we are strongly encouraging residents not to leave the care home for now, again as a precautionary measure.
We are working 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.
