Hi Lynette,
St Andrews Village aged care are still currently RAT testing all visitors as Ballina has quite a number of community based COVID v4 and 5. Have had some positive readings and we have then forwarded them to have a PCR test. Only 1 staff member with long COVID. No residents currently affected. We manage all our testing in house and are not utilising PHU or staff from elsewhere.
Regards
Sandy

Afternoon,
Just wanting to find out how the various private and public sectors are managing RAT testing patients if at all on admissions, we are trying to figure out whether or not to continue with this as it is resource draining and staff are needed elsewhere.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
With kind regards
