Residents are permitted to have two fully vaccinated visitors aged 12 years and over, plus two children aged under 12 years per day:
• Visitors aged 12 years and over must have received a second dose of a COVID vaccination at least 14 days prior to their visit
• Visitors are strongly encouraged to get a booster vaccine if they are eligible for one, and to have a negative Rapid Antigen Testing (RAT) prior to each visit. We understand the supply is limited for antigen tests, however this is the best way to keep our residents safe.
• Up to 2 children under 12 years are permitted to visit provided they are accompanied by a fully vaccinated person
• Wherever possible, the visit should be in an outdoor area. Visits should not be in any inside communal areas. All visitors must wear a surgical mask over their nose and mouth while visiting
• Visiting hours are between 10am and 7pm each day
Visitors must not enter an RACF at all if they:
• have COVID-19 symptoms
• have been exposed to COVID-19 unless they have completed their self-isolation and testing requirements. People who have had high risk exposures should not enter high risk settings for at least 14 days since their exposure to a COVID-positive person.
• are waiting for a COVID-19 test result.
• have been overseas in the previous 14 days, unless they are:
o fully vaccinated, it has been at least 7 days after arrival and they have received a negative rapid antigen test 6 days or later after arriving in NSW
Please note: McMaugh Gardens has not yet received a delivery of Commonwealth supplied RAT kits for screening of visitors due to supply and delivery delays that are affecting many aged care facilities.
Advice for residents:
• Residents may leave the facility and attend family gatherings or for other reasons but must abide by the current Public Health (COVID-19 General) Order (No 2) 2021.
• Residents who leave the facility to attend a family gathering and return the same day should on return have a RAT on days 2, 4 and 7 after they return. If well, residents do not need to isolate. If they develop any signs or symptoms of COVID-19 they should immediately be isolated and have a RAT or PCR test.
• Residents who do not return the same day should be isolated until they have a negative PCR, (RAT if delays in PCR processing) the day of return with subsequent tests on day 3, 5 and 7 after they return
Phone or video calls are accessible for all residents to enable regular communication with family.
