Covid cases now 'treated individually'
Aged care residents in Woy Woy who have tested positive for Covid are being managed individually.
"We no longer move into lockdown with Covid cases," said Blue Wave Living aged care home chief executive Mr Matt Downie.
"We have had some recent cases of Covid emerge within BlueWave Living.
"It is likely we will continue to see cases emerge in residential aged care in line with community spread.
"Mindfulness regarding vaccination, infection control and following our guidelines when visiting is very important."
Mr Downie said it was "small steps we can all take" that will minimise risk to Blue Wave resident.
"If unwell in any way, please defer visiting.
"Our entry requirements remain unchanged.
"Visitors are expected to RAT test prior to entering the building and to wear an appropriate mask. These are all provided.
"Please follow the directions of our team."
With flu season approaching, Mr Downie said: "It is important to obtain the annual flu vaccination and an updated Covid booster too."
