Greetings, Family and Friends – Brief Weekend Update
Since yesterday’s morning numbers, I can now report that we have a total of 33 residents with Covid in the Lodge and 2 residents in the Manor. As residents exhibit any symptoms, they are tested immediately to ensure treatment is offered as quickly as possible and isolation commenced. The designated primary contact has been notified of the positive result so no need to ring and enquire.
We are at the stage that all unnecessary movement around the lodge is to be discouraged as it is advisable that non -Covid residents remain in their rooms as much as is possible. Exercise remains very important however it must be accomplished safely and preferably outside in fresh air and sunshine.
I am pleased to report that all residents with Covid are stable, and many are improving. Staff have asked me to pass on their appreciation for everyone’s patience and supportive messages during this incredibly challenging time. The Family Liaison Team are contacting families directly to give a daily update for Covid positive residents.
All Visiting arrangements remain in place as per Update #131 for both the Lodge and Manor.
The Manor is still considered at risk given that we have 2 positive cases. All Manor residents will continue to face restrictions on movement and cessation of joint suburb activities. Even though the entry and exit doors are closed to each suburb residents can still have a walk to the communal areas and get a coffee, they just can’t join group activities with residents from other areas.
We appreciate your patience and co-operation in keeping the Maroba Community as safe as possible during this outbreak. If you require additional information, please call reception 49350300 during office hours or email enquiries@maroba.com.au.
In the meantime, stay alert, protect yourself and those around you as it is very clear the Pandemic still has a long way to go!
Yours sincerely,
Viv Allanson – CEO
