The situation continued to change over the weekend. We have a few more cases. However, we are still in the incubation period of the virus. It is therefore quite possible that we will see the positive results of infected people before we put the entire 3rd floor in isolation.
The good news, no cases outside the 3rd. This shows that the measures instituted have worked. We do not take anything for granted and that is why we will be re-screening residents on the 2nd, 4th, and 5th floors soon.
We must also, unfortunately, confirm that one person has died as a result of COVID-19. Our thoughts and condolences go out to the family.
Since we had new cases, we converted a section of the 3rd floor into a COVID unit to better help manage positive cases without impacting the quality of care. This will allow us a better distribution of equipment and manpower.
Thank you again for your support.
