As of Thursday 5 November, the restrictions relating to Aged Care Facilities will change.
Care and support visits are no longer restricted to one person or two persons together.
There is no longer a restriction on the number of care and support visits a resident can have.
In a statement on Facebook, SA Police have stated that:
“A personal care worker whose primary role is to support residents with their daily care needs should, to the extent reasonably possible should not provide care to a resident at another Residential Aged Care Facility.”
“However should they provide care at more than facility the facility must notify the Facility Operator that they are doing so, with the Facility being required to keep a register of those workers who do provide care at more than one facility.”
“A Residential Aged Care Facility operator must ensure all persons who provide care to a resident who has undertaken a COVID-19 test wears appropriate personal protective equipment until the test result is known.”
