Masks & Family Night Update

Good morning,

As some of you may be aware there is an overwhelming volume of Respiratory Infections/Noro virus within D&G.

This being the case the health protection team have advised that no one is to enter the building without wearing a mask, and that you wear your mask during the duration of your visit including whilst in love one’s rooms.

This is a precautionary measure to help protect your loved ones, staff and to reduce hospital admissions.

I have taken the decision to postpone the family night on the 10th of December and rearrange for January. Thank you for your understanding

Michelle Carlton, Home manager
