    If I had parents who were in any retirement villages I would if possible take them out of that facility and install them in a motel unit close by to my home and look after them myself if I could not take care of them in my own home, imho one cannot trust the domestic staff no matter how stringent the retirement village is, slip ups happen.

    That's a fun opinion but I'm inclined to trust an environment of regulated and monitored foot-traffic and a work-force remunerated whether or not they turn up to work and given front-line training in management of infectious disease versus a panicking family full of "suppose we should really not be doing this - it might be the last time for awhile but it's only [name here]" types and in an environment where well-wishing do-gooders and even neer-do-wellers are loose on the streets.

    Are you referring to suppliers or contractors? I personally haven't heard this and the enactment of alert level 4 will be different depending on the sector, contractor, client and contract agreement.
    With regards to existing contracts, if there are site closures this does not necessarily imply a negative result for a contractor or principal: https://www.bellgully.com/publicatio...ction-projects

    Just make sure you clean the motel unit thoroughly from top to bottom before they move in. To be honest I would think their unit in a village would be much safer and more secure. Villages have comprehensive Covid-19 plans. Motel units - it would be up to the the individual occupants and the owner. Are you confusing independent units with the rest home facilities in villages?

    Good comment but at lease one can hire specialist cleaners to do that job before moving in , but with the comings and goings of staff, suppliers, visitors and residents all movement is almost impossible to police.

    We already saw yesterday that some of their plans are a joke. They literally let Mr Virus walk straight in.
