COVID-19 Outbreak Update | SwanCare Ningana

We need to advise an update on the current COVID-19 situation at SwanCare Ningana. Since our last update, we have had a total of nine residents on Level 3 test positive to COVID-19. The residents’ families have been notified directly and the residents are being well taken care of in their rooms. 

Residents at SwanCare Ningana are continuing to be closely monitored for symptoms and tested every 72 hours as required. Increased infection control measures also remain in place across Level 3 as we continue to minimise risk and mitigate further spread.

SwanCare Ningana Level 3 remains closed to all visitors until further notice. Visitation exemptions will be made for end of life and partners in care. 

All staff and approved visitors are required to wear a N95 mask when entering Level 3 and must complete a RAT prior to entry. 

All other levels at SwanCare Ningana will remain open to visitors; however, all visitors are required to wear a surgical mask and must also complete a RAT prior to entry. Both resources can be obtained from reception.
