Primrose Gardens is on Monitoring, a new status from Public Health. Our Manager, Community Enrichment, Trish Giesbrecht is on daily calls with Public Health and has set up following the protocols for infection control. The prevalence of COVID is so high in our community that Public Health is focusing their oversight efforts on locations that do not have the experience that our team brings. We are sorry to report that some cases of COVID are impacting residents more severely and one resident has gone to hospital. We want to thank our team of staff in Primrose Gardens who are doing the wellness checks. These phone calls and eyes-on checks have helped residents seek additional medical support in a timely way when needed.
