The South Australian government has announced a gradual easing of COVID-19 restrictions.
What does this mean for our villages?
From Friday 20 November:
- Exercise:
- Residents may exercise outdoors, including walking dogs.
- Masks:
- While masks are no longer mandatory, we recommend that residents wear mask if they go out in public.
- Team members are required to wear masks in the community centre, in care apartments and within residents’ homes.
- All other restrictions remain in place for now.
From Monday 23 November
- Visitors:
- Restrictions lifted on visitors to independent living units.
- Two visitors at a time to care apartments.
- No visitors from children under 16 please.
- We recommend that visitors to the village wear masks. We will make these available if needed.
- All other restrictions remain in place and will be reviewed again on Monday.
- This means that the community centre remains closed and all sporting and social activities are on hold.
- Independent living residents who usually eat in the dining room will continue to have their meals delivered to their unit.
We urge residents to:
- Continue to stay at home as much as possible.
- While not mandatory, we recommend you wear a mask if you go out.
- Please don’t gather in common areas.
- Continue to practice social distancing (keep 1.5 metres apart), hand hygiene and cough etiquette.
We are here to help
If you have any questions or concerns, or need any help, please call your Village Manager directly.
We are monitoring this closely and will provide further updates as the situation evolves.
