FEBRUARY 17, 2022

HOME W2: OUTBREAK (declared 16/02/2022)

NEW COVID POSITIVE CASES = 1 staff  

TOTAL COVID POSITIVE CASES = 20 (16 residents | 4 staff)

There is a correction to the number of staff (remains at 4 staff even though we have an additional COVID positive staff today). This can be challenging as there are staff who contract COVID who do not directly intersect with the unit as a concern for transmission (residents or staff). It takes some contact tracing to work through these details day to day. Staff who were COVID positive prior to today have returned to work.
Protocols:
  • Twice daily symptom screening for staff and residents
  • All residents isolated and on droplet precaution
  • Communal dining discontinued
  • Group activities discontinued
  • Staff to wear masks and goggles until further notice
  • Only essential visitors allowed.
