HI Lucas,
All entering should be COVID19 tested but you must also follow you state health guidelines. Any slips may cause harm to your patients and team AND a huge political and media backlash. Tread carefully. Good luck.
Kind regards
Karen

president@apna.asn.au | http://www.apna.asn.auGood evening all
Just curious what your thoughts and current policies are regarding new admissions to aged care facilities and quarantine.
At present in our facility we are quarantining new admissions from the community or hospital for 14 days. This is following a recommendation from our local PHN.
Are others following a similar policy? What are your thoughts on perhaps COVID testing new admissions and ceasing quarantine on return of negative testing?
Thank you
