Dear Resident or Family Member,
COVID-19 Visitation Reminder for Residents and Families at Calvary Robina Rise
Further to our communication yesterday, I am writing to let you know that unfortunately an additional positive case of COVID-19 has been detected amongst residents on Level 1 in the latest round of testing. In line with Public Health Unit advice, the COVID positive resident will remain in, and be cared for in their rooms for now.
Our testing regime with residents will continue over the next few days, and we will update you with information as soon as it becomes available. We anticipate our next update to you will be after the weekend.
Level 1 residents may now move freely about their own unit. Group activities have recommenced as usual for Ocean unit, Level 2 and Level 3, in a COVID safe manner.
Ocean unit, Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 are all currently open to receiving one visitor (Partner in Care) per resident, consistent with Calvary’s Position Statement on Visiting in Aged Care.
