Dear Family and Friends of South Cove Manor:
Our weekly surveillance testing revealed that a per-diem nurse tested positive for COVID. This nurse has worked only one shift in the past week, on Thanksgiving Day on the 2nd floor.
As a result of this positive case, we will begin our outbreak testing protocol on Monday. In addition, Communal dining and Group activities on the North courtyard of the second floor will also need to be put on hold for the next week.
Last week, the Department of Public Health revised the regulations around visitation during outbreak testing. ALL residents in the building are now allowed to continue to receive visitors regardless of the fact that they may have been exposed to a positive staff member. As a result of that change, there are NO visitation restrictions as result of this positive case. However, I do need to inform those visitors that are coming to visit residents on the second floor, that there is a potential risk of exposure.
As always, I will keep you all informed as this situation unfolds. Please let Li Chen, or I know if you have any questions, and thank you again for placing your trust in South Cove Manor.
