Dear family member/resident representative,
I am writing to provide you with an update about your loved one’s aged care centre.
As you know we have been managing our Mummaga Wing in accordance with our outbreak management plan as a number of residents were diagnosed with COVID-19 late last week.
Pleasingly there have been no further positive results since my last update and all residents have been doing well, with a number of them already meeting the recovery criteria. Those yet to be deemed recovered are experiencing symptoms ranging from mild to none at all, and most have completed their course of anti-viral medication.
While this is good news, we remain focussed on ensuring the risk of transmission is managed with all elements of our outbreak management plan in place. This includes encouragement of those with the virus to remain in their rooms and ongoing testing of those who don’t have COVID-19 to ensure early detection.
Residents of Mummaga Wing who have not been diagnosed with the virus will be tested again today and again on the weekend.
The Lifestyle team continues to provide support with one on one activities with our residents including escorted walks. Yesterday residents enjoyed ice cream cones and other treats.
I will provide you with another update early next week when we have the results of tests from today and over the weekend.
Mummaga Wing
As we are continuing to manage the risk of transmission in this wing we encourage you to postpone your visit at this time. If you do want to visit, please contact the Care Centre to discuss your plans and you will be guided on how to make it as COVID-19-safe as possible and in accordance with the arrangements outlined below.
All other areas of the care centre
There are no changes to visiting in all other areas of the care centre.
Please note that if you have had COVID-19 you must not enter an aged care centre until 10 days has passed from your diagnosis day, and you have no symptoms.
Further to the above please do not visit your loved one if you are experiencing any symptoms or are feeling unwell even if you have a negative COVID-19 test result. You may still have influenza or another virus which is highly contagious
Please pass this message on to others as you consider appropriate and if you have any questions please contact your Care Manager.
Thank you for your support.
Yours sincerely
Nia Briguglio
