You can read today’s announcement here.
This means:

Therefore, from 1201am Tuesday 6th July to 1201am Monday 12th July, the following will be in place at our disability care homes:
- There is a maximum of four visitors per resident allowed per day. Visits for end-of-life support are outside of these visits.
- Visits will take place in a resident’s room or a common area designated for visiting and visitors must comply with the instructions of the Program Manager, Team Lead or Supervisor on site.
- Visitors must comply with social distancing protocols of 1.5 metres at all times where practical.
- Masks must be worn by all staff and visitors inside and in the garden areas of our homes at all times.
- Visitors must practice good hand hygiene, including using hand sanitiser on entry and exit.
- Visitors can book a visit by phoning the home directly. You can find a list of phone numbers here. Zipline will be closed to bookings for now.
- Visitors must sign in to Zipline on entry. This includes having their temperature taken and completing a health and travel declaration.
- We can continue to facilitate video and telephone calls in lieu of in person visits for those would like them.
- External excursions can be undertaken with a completed COVID-19 risk assessment done between the resident / their decision maker and a clinical team member. Please speak to your Program Manager or Team Lead about this.
Thank you for your ongoing support. I know our teams have appreciated your warm wishes as we all work together to keep everyone safe.
We will update you again before 1201am Monday 12th July.
