Update #6 – Outbreak 13.10.21

October 19, 2021

Dear Residents & Family members,

Re. Update #6. – Outbreak 13.10.21

We are committed to communicating with you frequently and daily where possible during this outbreak.

Again, I can confirm that no resident across the facility is displaying any Covid symptoms or fever.

On the advice of the Public Health Unit we are able to welcome back the staff who were identified as close contacts, and who have undergone the required testing and isolation period.

Our residents in Honeysuckle remain upbeat and supported and are of course looking forward to being tested on Thursday. We hope the results of the Covid test will come through in time for our Friday’s meeting with the Health authorities.  If we are able to resume visitation for Honeysuckle residents next week, this will be a priority for us.

So far we have welcomed a stream of visitors to our residents in other wings and we know they have enjoyed connecting with their families once more. A scattering of appointments are still available so if you haven’t booked an appointment please ring Reception. Haircuts have also been appreciated!

Again as per previous updates a friendly reminder, please do not attempt to visit us if you

• have the slightest cough or cold/flu like symptoms;
• have been contacted by NSW Health as a close or casual contact;
• are waiting for the results of a Covid test;
• have been in contact with a confirmed close contact who is waiting on a test result
• have not had both Vaccinations at least 14 days ago.
• are Under 12 years of age
• reside in or have visited Sydney Central, Coast Blue Mountains or any other known area of concern.

Thank you for your patience.

Yours sincerely

Viv Allanson
CEO
