Click here COVID-19 Update for residents & families of Calvary Trugo PlaceDate: 13 May2022 To: Residents & Families Dear Resident and Family Members, I am writing to inform you that unfortunately twelve (12) additional residents have tested positive for COVID-19 at Calvary Trugo Place since our last communication to you in our latest round of testing that occurred yesterday 12 May 2022. The positive residents are currently isolating and receiving care in their rooms, and we have notified their families. Visitation to the home is currently heavily restricted and we kindly request that you limit your contact with the home due to the increased workload on staff and the risk to residents. If you are visiting, please adhere to the strict PPE guidelines and visitation restrictions below: Information for visitors during an outbreakCalvary’s Position Statement on Visiting in Aged Care, allows visits for residents in all circumstances, including when a home is experiencing an outbreak and is in lockdown. There are, however, specific requirements to help keep our residents, their visitors and our staff as safe as possible.
We will continue to liaise closely with Public Health Unit officials, who will make the decision about whether and when it is safe to remove the current visitation restrictions. We will keep you updated as information becomes available. We anticipate our next communication to you will be early next week. Thank you for your continued understanding and patience at this time.
