COVID-19 Outbreak Resolved at SwanCare Kingia
We are pleased to advise that following PCR testing on the 8th and 11th of July, no further positive cases of COVID-19 have been detected in residents at SwanCare Kingia level 1. All affected residents have fully recovered and completed their isolation period; therefore, we can declare the outbreak at SwanCare Kingia as resolved.
Deep cleaning at SwanCare Kingia level 1 is currently underway in preparation for visitations to resume from tomorrow, Friday the 15th of July.
Visiting hours are 9am-12pm and 2pm-5pm Monday to Sunday.
As a reminder, all visitors are required to provide a negative RAT test and health screen upon arrival; in addition to following the WA Government’s current level 1 public health and social measures:
With the increase of new COVID-19 variants spreading in the community, the chance of reinfection also increases. For this reason, based on the latest expert advice from the Australian Health Protection Principal Committee (AHPPC), the window for potential reinfection of COVID-19 has been reduced from 12 weeks to four weeks (28 days). We ask all visitors who test positive with 48 hours of visiting any SwanCare residential aged care centre to please contact us immediately, so we can ensure your loved one is closely monitored for symptoms.
Should you prefer not to visit in person, arrangements for telephonic and video communications with your loved ones can still be made by contacting SwanCare Kingia during reception hours to schedule a time.
Thank you for your understanding and patience while we managed this latest outbreak.
