COVID UPDATE – September 10, 2021 – Menno Home Outbreak
NEW COVID POSITIVE CASES = 0
TOTAL COVID POSITIVE CASES = Menno Home E1: 36 (22 residents / 14 staff)
PASSED AWAY: TODAY = 0 (T = 2 residents on E1)
RECOVERED STAFF = 2 staff returned to work today (T=3 recovered)
There are no new COVID positives to report today and no deaths.
We continue to monitor the residents for symptoms and when there are symptoms, we swab for COVID.
There have been several instances of symptoms like a cough or diarrhea. All returned negative. Our care team are swabbing everyone even with the slightest symptom in order to ensure that we do not have COVID in any other resident or unit. We are grateful that all have been negative.
We continue to collect and gather results from the staff. This can be challenging as the staff’s COVID swabs are not reported directly to Menno Place. Instead, they are reported to the individual staff member who follows up with a call to Menno Place.
In total, over 450 swabs have been done to test residents and staff in Menno Home plus the 2nd round of point-prevalence testing for the E1 residents and staff.
Thank you to all of the nursing team who do the COVID swabbing and to the admin team who ensure that every sample has the correct identifiers for each person – and send them to the lab for analysis.
Thank you for your continued prayers for Menno Home – residents and staff. Today was a good day to see some of the initial COVID positive staff return to work.
