Click here 1 March 2022 Dear Resident and Family Members, COVID-19 Update for Residents and Families of Calvary George Vowell Following our last update to residents and families, I am writing to advise that a PCR testing regime (in place of the original Rapid Antigen Testing regime) has identified an additional (3) residents in Hillside Unit and (2) staff members, who have tested positive for COVID-19. This brings the total number in the current outbreak to (21) including (19) residents and (2) staff. Testing will be conducted again next Friday 4 March and we will contact you when these results are received. The Lakeside Unit was stood down and relevant families and residents updated following advice from the PHU on 26 February. This means that residents may now move freely within the unit and are not restricted to their rooms. All other residents in the home are being cared for in their rooms. Please refer to the previous communication for Frequently Asked Questions and Answers including details of visiting your loved one. We want to assure you that we are doing everything possible to continue to look after the health and wellbeing of all our residents while keeping them safe during this difficult time. You can help us by sharing this information with your family and friends Thank you for your continued understanding and patience at this time.
