In response to the COVID-19 (Coronaviurus) outbreak in Australia, Prime Minister Scott Morrison has announced further restrictions to protect those living in aged care facilities.
As of March 18, the following restrictions are currently in place:
You will NOT be permitted to enter an aged care facility if:
Aged care facilities must take extra precautions when it comes to visits. These include:
No school groups of any size are allowed to visit residential aged care facilities.
No children aged under 16 years are permitted to visit residential aged care facilities except in special circumstances.
If you are wanting to visit a loved one in aged care, please ensure that you call ahead to the facility to check their current protocol.
If you CAN still visit your loved ones in aged care, PLEASE DO! Visitors are always appreciated, especially in times like these. Just be aware and remember to stick to the guidelines.
