COVID-19 Update
Dear Family and Friends of South Cove Manor:

Good Afternoon,

I am writing to provide you with additional news about COVID-19 in our building. As I had shared with all of you in previous e-mails, our regularly scheduled staff surveillance testing conducted on Friday, December 4th, identified 4 staff members as positive for the virus. In response, on Sunday, December 6th, we tested all residents that had close contact with any of the positive staff members. Unfortunately, 2 residents were identified as positive for COVID-19. 

Those residents’ families have been notified, and we have activated our COVID-19 positive unit that is located in our rehab room. 4 teams of 2 staff members each (1 nurse, and 1 C.N.A.) will staff this COVID positive unit, with each team working 12-hour shifts. These staff members will ONLY work on the COVID positive unit, and will have no direct interaction with other staff members or residents.

Today, we tested 100% of our staff again, and we anticipate that we will have the results back tomorrow. In addition, we will test 100% of our residents tomorrow, and anticipate those results on Wednesday.

Until further notice, we will be testing 100% of our staff every Monday and Thursday each week, and 100% of our residents every Tuesday and Friday. While it is our hope that there will not be any additional positive cases, we are prepared for that eventuality. Any positive staff that are identified will be excluded from work, and any additional positive residents identified will be moved to our COVID positive unit.

I will be back in touch with all of you as soon as additional test results are received.

Thank you again for placing your trust in South Cove Manor.
Sincerely,

William J. Graves
President & CEO
COVID-19更新
親愛的中華頤養院家人和朋友:

下午好,

我正在寫信為您提供有關我們大樓中COVID-19的其他新聞。正如我在以前的電子郵件中與大家分享的那樣,我們在12月4日星期五進行的定期員工監視測試確定了4名員工對該病毒呈陽性。作為回應,在12月6日(星期日),我們測試了與任何陽性工作人員保持密切接觸的所有院民。不幸的是,有2名院民被確認為COVID-19陽性。

這些院民的家庭已收到通知,我們已啟動位於康復室的COVID-19陽性部門。 4個團隊,每個團隊2個工作人員(1個護士和1個C.N.A.)將為該COVID陽性部門配備人員,每個團隊每班工作12小時。這些工作人員僅在COVID陽性部門工作,不會與其他工作人員或院民直接互動。

今天,我們再次對我們的員工進行了100%的測試,並且我們希望明天能夠得到結果。此外,我們明天將對100%的院民進行測試,並在星期三預測這些結果。

除非另行通知,否則我們將在每週的星期一和星期四對100%的員工進行測試,並在星期二和星期五對100%的院民進行測試。儘管我們希望不會再有其他陽性病例的情況,但我們為這種情況做好了準備。確定的任何陽性員工將被排除在工作之外,任何其他確定的陽性院民將被轉移到我們的COVID陽性部門。

收到其他測試結果後,我們將立即與大家保持聯繫。

再次感謝您對中華頤養院的信任。
真誠的
