Dear Family and Friends of South Cove Manor:
Between Friday and Saturday, we tested all staff members, and all residents as part of our outbreak testing protocols. I am happy to report that no new cases of COVID-19 were identified.
As a result, those residents that had potentially been exposed to the positive staff member or the positive resident, will be able to participate in outdoor visitation beginning Monday, August 23rd.
With that change, the visitation protocols for the week beginning August 23rd are as follows:
First floor and Second floor residents may participate in OUTDOOR VISITS ONLY;
Third floor residents may have both indoor and outdoor visits. For indoor visits, the restrictions that pertain to unvaccinated visitors still apply.
In addition, communal dining and group activities for first and second floor residents will still be on hold for the coming week.
We will conduct another round of testing for all staff and residents next Friday. If all of those tests come back as negative, then we will have reached 14 days with no new cases identified, and the restrictions noted above can be lifted. The restrictions that pertain to unvaccinated visitors will continue to apply.
I will continue to keep you updated with additional information as it becomes available. As always, please reach out to either Li Chen, or I with any questions that you may have.
Thank you again for placing your trust in South Cove Manor.
