Third Floor COVID Outbreak - Sunshine Centre

We regret to report that 3 residents on the 3rd floor have tested positive for COVID-19.  We now meet the outbreak criteria defined by Public Health, and declare the 3rd floor to be in outbreak for a minimum of 5 days.

The following precautions will be in place:

RESIDENT ISOLATION AND TESTING

  *
Residents who have tested positive and have symptoms must remain in their suite for a minimum of 5 days.  If their symptoms have been resolving for at least 24 hours after their isolation period, they can wear a mask and leave their suite, with the RPN's approval.
  *
All 3rd floor residents will have twice-daily temperature checks and will be asked to report any symptoms immediately.
  *
Symptoms could include fever (or feeling feverish), chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue or tiredness, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, muscle pain or body aches, headache.
  *
Any close contacts can be rapid-tested.  If symptoms are present, or if they test positive on a rapid test, a PCR test will be done.  Please ask the RPN for a rapid test.
  *
Residents on the 3rd floor who are not symptomatic will not have to isolate, but must wear a mask when out of their suite.

DINING

  *   Tray service will commence for all residents on the 3rd floor until further notice.  This includes both isolated and non-isolated residents.
  *   Residents on all other floors may continue to have meals in the dining room.
  *
Please note that trays must be left in the resident's suite, and not moved to the hallway or another common area.
  *
Garbage must be discarded in the designated garbage container located outside residents' suites.

ACTIVITIES

  *
Residents on the 3rd floor may go outdoors and walk around within the community wearing a mask, unless they are COVID positive and/or are isolating.
  *   We ask that residents from the 3rd floor not sit and visit with residents on other floors, or attend activities, until the outbreak is declared over.
  *   Residents on other floors may continue to participate in scheduled activities.

VISITORS

  *
Visiting for isolated residents on the 3rd floor should be limited to essential visits (POAs, caregivers).
  *
We ask that general visitors not visit residents on the 3rd floor at this time.
  *
We encourage general visitors to take non-isolated residents on the 3rd floor out of the building to visit.

As always, please let us know if you have any questions.
