COVID-19: Important Update - 22 March
Following the announcement by Rt Hon Jacinda Arden yesterday, we’d like to reassure you Te Omanga Hospice will continue to provide our essential service to the community through the COVID-19 situation.
Our pandemic plan is in place and being reviewed daily. The health and wellbeing of our patients, families, staff and volunteers is a priority.
From today we are restricting visiting hours and visiting numbers to our hospice. Visiting hours will be between 8am – 8pm, with visitors limited to 4 per patient during the day and 2 visitors overnight.
Please don’t visit our hospice if you are unwell, in self-isolation, or have the following symptoms: a cough, a temperature (at least 38 degrees), shortness of breath. If you are unsure, please check with us first on 04 569 7921.
Our staff who care for patients in the community will be phoning first before visiting. We will ask a series of screening questions to help understand your situation.
For the latest information on COVID-19 please check the Ministry of Health website.
Thank you for your understanding as we continue to navigate our way through this quickly changing situation. Please keep safe and continue to wash your hands. We are all in this together.
