Oh dear!
Nursing home Ellerslie Gardens Lifecare in lockdown after a nightshift worker returning from Zimbabwe on 10 March prior to self isolation period coming in & to work on 15 March tested positive today.
Hopefully no contact with residents.

How tragic & slack they were allowed to go to work in such a vulnerable sector without management enforcing best practice self isolating first.
And don't give me that 'we were only following guidelines' excuse.

It shouldn't be entirely up to the govt to control the spread.

So many want less govt regulation (look at National's 'gona throw all the regulations on the bonfire' promise, though haven't heard much about that lately ) & less interference, and yet don't take responsibility, don't step up to Best Practice policies but just do the bare minimum.

Bleeding obvious in this sector when your dealing with extremely vulnerable elderly people & your supposed to have specialist knowledge & expertise & care, to have made anyone returning from overseas self isolate or be tested before returning to work.

Wouldn't you think retirement villages, of all places, would have insisted ANY staff member returning from overseas should be required to self-isolate. I realise she returned before that 'official' requirement, but c'mon.

Oh, I see blue skies made the same observation. Agree
