COVID-19 Outbreak / Situation As Of November 18th 2020
Number of active cases | Number of active positive residents | Number of active positive employees |
20 | 12 | 8 |
We have good and bad news today.
Let’s start with the good ones. Some employees and residents arrive within their 10-day quarantine and do not show symptoms.
These employees will soon be reinstated to work. Residents will soon be able to return to their floors.
The criteria for employees:
- 10-day quarantine, AND
- 48 without symptoms (except cough as it will persist for some time)
For residents:
- 10-day quarantine, AND
- 48 without symptoms (except cough as it will persist for some time)
- Clinical improvement in the last 24 hours
We had two new cases added today.
Unfortunately, we must also announce a second death. We extend our sincere condolences to family and friends.
Tomorrow, we retest the entire centre for routine screening. This should confirm that there was no contamination outside the 3rd floor and that the outbreak was contained.
We are talking about containing the outbreak even though we have new cases because the incubation period for the virus varies from 6 to 12 days. It is very likely that new positive residents that showed up in the last few days were infected before isolation protocols were put in place.
Once again, we like to thank you for your support and trust.
