- Every person entering our facility undergoes a general COVID-19 screening which includes a compulsory temperature check, health check and hand sanitising. No person is allowed to enter our facility without a mask. Homebased carers are required to sanitise frequently during the day and wear a mask at all times.
- As a precautionary measure, visitations to patients in our sub-acute facility are limited to [state the hours] and no more than two visitors per patient is allowed at a time.
