Dear Family and Friends of South Cove Manor:
On Friday, October 15th, we conducted our weekly surveillance testing of all staff. Unfortunately, one asymptomatic staff member tested positive. That staff member is a Nurse’s Aide that works on the third floor on the 11-7 shift. All residents that have been under her care were tested yesterday afternoon, and all are negative. Those residents reside in rooms from 321 to 331 and will be quarantined for 10 days. Additional testing of residents will take place every 3 days for the next week, and if there are no new positive cases identified, our leadership team and a Department of Public Health Epidemiologist will determine the next steps at the end of that week.
Booster doses of the Pfizer vaccine are being administered to residents today. Those residents that are under quarantine will not be able to receive their booster dose today, but a plan is being formulated for Tai Tung pharmacy to come back and provide those residents with their booster dose after the quarantine period has expired.
I will continue to provide you with additional information as it becomes available.
As always, please feel free to reach out to Li Chen, or me with any questions that you may have.
Thank you again for placing your trust in South Cove Manor.
