Other residents in Elizabeth Etheridge wing were tested and no additional cases were found. In line with Public Health Unit advice, another round of testing will occur later in the week, and we will advise you of the results once we receive them. Residents in Elizabeth Etheridge wing are able to move around but must stay within the wing. Visitation to the wing is not permitted at this time, and we will update you once this changes. Residents outside Elizabeth Etheridge wing are free to move around the facility and accept visitors, however, some visitation restrictions remain in place to keep our residents, their visitors and our staff as safe as possible. Please see below for updated visitor information, consistent with Calvary’s Position Statement on Visiting in Aged Care: Information for visitors
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.
