Moray care home residents self-isolating after coronavirus outbreak

All residents at a Moray care home are self-isolating following an outbreak of coronavirus.

Staff and residents at Glenisla in Keith are understood to be among those who have tested positive for Covid-19.

The outbreak comes after employees with coronavirus had to self-isolate last month.

However, more tests done last week have found positive results among more staff and some residents.

Today operator Parklands was unable to confirm whether two deaths at Glenisla last week were connected to the outbreak or how many cases had been detected.

The firm says the outbreak must serve as a reminder for the local population to remain vigilant to the risk of coronavirus in the community.

A spokesman said: “All residents are being kept in isolation during this time and regular deep cleaning is being carried out throughout the home to minimise any risk of further infection. Again, those staff affected are isolating at home on full pay.

“Relatives are being kept updated and we are continuing to liaise with Public Health. The safety and welfare of our residents and staff is our top priority.

“I want to thank our hard working staff for everything they are doing to support our residents and their families. They have battled this invisible virus for almost a year and it has been a hugely challenging and emotional time for everyone.

“While the number of Covid cases in Moray has fallen slightly in recent days, this is a reminder that the virus is still very prevalent in the community and that we must all remain vigilant.”
