Dear Family and Friends of South Cove Manor:
Last Monday, I shared with all of you that one of our staff members had tested positive for COVID-19. I also shared with you the steps we would be taking to ensure the virus did not spread within our building, and also shared our increased testing schedule. Since last Monday, we have gone through three rounds of testing 100% of our staff and residents, with our most recent round of testing taking place yesterday.
I am happy to share with all of you that our testing regimen has revealed no new positive cases over the past week. Even though the first week of “outbreak” testing has revealed no new cases, we are still required to quarantine the effected area of our building for a full 14 days. As a result, the quarantine period for the Second floor North Courtyard will remain in effect until we receive the results of testing that will take place on Saturday, April 24th. If we continue to have no new cases, we look forward to being able to allow visitation for residents on that courtyard, communal dining, and group activities, beginning on Monday, April 26th.
I will continue to keep you all posted with any new developments. Please do not hesitate to reach out to Li Chen or I with any questions.
Thank you again for placing your trust in South Cove Manor.
