Today’s Update:

The Western Health Public Health Unit have advised that the Avondale Heights Home outbreak is now complete. The Home will return to COVID19 safe practices and staff will continue wearing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in line with Government directives to safeguard the home.

Social distancing, hand hygiene and normal infection control cleaning regimes will remain in place.

We will continue to monitor residents’ health and wellbeing closely.  Affected residents will no longer need to isolate in their rooms and will be able to move around the Home and residents may leave the Home to attend appointments and social outings.
