Crimpenersteyn residential care center, part of De Zellingen, has been dealing with a corona outbreak since last week, of which the source is not clear. At the time of writing, 56 of the 217 residents and 19 employees have tested positive for corona. The outbreak appears to be stabilizing.
The situation appears to be stable, as the number of suspicions and positive results is not increasing any further. In addition, various residents will be allowed out of quarantine in the coming days. As stated earlier, all residents who have previously tested negative will be tested again this Monday, with which we try to keep the situation under control as much as possible.
The GGD has indicated that, contrary to a previously shared message, re-testing of employees is not necessary. That is why employees are only tested for corona-related complaints. Due to dropouts, the pressure on the departments is currently so high that we are making an inventory of which staff employees can support in the care sector when the situation requires it. Nevertheless, we do everything we can to offer more than just basic care. For example, attention is paid to the well-being of our residents and Christmas pieces are made in a number of departments, taking into account the measures. In addition, we do everything we can to spend the Christmas season with our residents in a beautiful and intimate way.
The visit guideline has been further tightened from Saturday 19 December. As of that date, 1 regular visitor per resident per day is welcome. We hope that this tightening of the visit guideline, together with the consistent and correct wearing of personal protective equipment by visitors and employees, will contribute to further reducing the coronavirus at the Crimpenersteyn location, so that the complete closure of the location is prevented.
We can only handle corona together!
