Dear family member/resident representative,
Thank you for your understanding as we have managed the risk of COVID-19 at your loved one’s aged care centre.
Today I am pleased to let you know that there have been no further positive results from our precautionary testing. With this good news and with all but two of the residents who were earlier diagnosed with COVID-19 now deemed fully recovered, the outbreak is considered resolved.
While two residents who are still COVID positive continue to isolate, they have been deemed as a low risk exposure for the care centre.
Having reached this milestone, socially distanced group activities will resume and children under the age of 12 can again visit the care centre.
Visiting arrangements
The staff and I are grateful to those who visited during the outbreak period and supported the care centre by wearing their PPE correctly.
Please note, that while we are still caring for two positive cases, visitors are required to wear N95 masks and face shields and if visiting a COVID positive resident full PPE will need to be worn as directed by staff.
To refresh your memory on our visiting arrangements please go to our website by clicking this link.
Please do not visit if you are feeling unwell, even if your symptoms are mild. Even if you have a negative COVID-19 test result you may still have another type of infection 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 co-operation.
Yours sincerely
Belinda Pheeney
Acting Operations Manager Sydney – Aged Care Centres
