Seniors facility pauses visits after positive COVID-19 test
A Red Deer area seniors facility has suspended all visits following a positive test for COVID-19.
The Hamlets at Red Deer in Gasoline Alley said it was informed of the positive test on Saturday.
“This team member has not worked in the building now for (five) days and we are working closely with CDC (AHS Communicable Disease Control) and public health to ensure that all protocols are in place,” General Manager Lisa Manning shared in a letter to residents and family members.
As a result of the positive test, The Hamlets at Red Deer has paused all visiting, including designated visitors, and is limiting all residents leaving the facility to essential visits only.
