Further to our last update to inform you that a resident at Whiddon Hornsby had tested positive to COVID-19, we have now had three more residents test positive. These residents are doing well and are being closely monitored.
As a precaution, visitation remains restricted for now. Only compassionate visits for end of life will be permitted at this time. Residents are strongly encouraged not to leave the care home for now, again as a precautionary measure.
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, 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 Hornsby.
