COVID 19 - Coronavirus
|
As the COVID-19 coronavirus situation evolves, we want to reassure you that REDHS are implementing all possible measures to prevent the occurrence or spread of this new illness and to protect our patents, residents, staff and the wider community.
You will be aware that we had already implemented strict Visitor Restrictions and increased infection control practices, such as temperature screening each visitor, but we have now decided to initiate precautionary lockdown of our facilities to ensure the safety of every patient and resident.
From midnight 26th March, we will be ceasing all visitor access for the foreseeable future.
As at today, we do NOT have any cases of COVID 19 in REDHS and we want to keep it that way.
We understand that this decision will have significant impact on our patients and residents, their family and friends, and we sincerely apologise for this.
Our patients and residents are our main priority, and we must do everything required to keep them safe.
This is not a decision we have taken lightly and was made after careful consideration of the Government and Chief Health Officer’s recommendations in relation to COVID 19 and as the rate of confirmed cases in the community increases.
We will only consider visitor exemptions under exceptional circumstances, e.g. a deterioration in a patient or resident’s condition or an end-of-life situation. Should such consideration be required REDHS Director Clinical Services, Ms Meredith Hodder or myself will approve arrangements on a case-by-case basis.
We encourage family and friends to maintain contact by telephone during this time and to explore other methods of ‘virtually connecting’, such as Video calling, Email, Facebook, Skype, etc.
We appreciate that this is an extremely difficult time.
We thank you for your cooperation and support of these arrangements to protect our vulnerable patients and residents in light of the current health emergency.
I also thank the wonderful REDHS staff for their continued hard work and dedication during these challenging times.
Together, we can help keep the people we love and care for, healthy and well.
