25.01.2022 To all families, please see the following information being sent out today to residents in response to the current and updated COVID-19 situation. RE: COVID-19 Restrictions Dear Residents,... It is good news that the COVID-19 restrictions in South Australia are beginning to ease. Based on information from SA Health we need to determine how we implement this in response to our unique circumstances within our Retirement Village. At this current stage the board of management of the Valley of Praise Retirement Village have decided to maintain our current situation for now. A review will be done at the beginning of June to determine how we proceed in getting the village back operating as previous to COVID19. We thank you for your understanding and patience. Rest assured that your health and wellbeing is of most importance to us at this time. Remember: Gatherings should be 10 or less people at any time Keep 1.5 metres distance from others If you have cold or flu symptoms, seek testing and stay home until you are well Wash your hands often Residents are in the vulnerable category Family may visit, firstly ensure family members are in good health before they visit If any of you have any concerns please do not hesitate to give myself a call on 0400 373 676. Kindest regards, Rosslyn May Secretary Valley of Praise Retirement Village

23.01.2022 Yep, we're still having fun and won't let COVID-19 beat us!!!

23.01.2022 **Notice to families of current Residents:** To all families, On Friday, we placed some information for each Resident in their letter box regarding the current Coronavirus (COVID-19) disease. As their health and safety is our priority, this was given to them so they know when to seek help if they become ill and what they need to know about the virus. Please note that this was not to make them feel in anyway alarmed, but to ensure they are doing all they can to steer clear f...rom any unwanted germs. If you have a family member that is a Resident, please make it known to us if they become unwell in anyway. This way we know who may need to be monitored for further symptoms and/or treatment. Attached is the letter that was sent out to each Resident, and below is the link to the document that we attached to the letter. https://www.health.gov.au//coronavirus-covid-19-what-you-n If you or any other members of your family have any further concerns, please do contact us. Thankyou.

14.01.2022 Dear Residents, On behalf of the Board of Management we wish to thank you all for your co-operation and for understanding of the importance of isolation in these trying times with COVID-19. You are all doing a tremendous job! We strongly feel that for the continued safety of all of our Residents that the restrictions must continue for now. ... You can be assured that we are continually monitoring the situation and doing our best to keep you all informed. Your patience and understanding is greatly appreciated. Note to Families: We would like to remind you that the 2 person rule does not apply to SA. However, if you wish to see your family member/s in the village, you can do so, so long as you follow social distancing laws of 1.5m and you only do so if you are well and healthy and have not been anywhere that could put you or anyone else at risk of the virus. We strongly encourage you to keep in contact with family members as often as possible to keep them smiling, as many would be missing their weekly catch ups and activities with friends and families. Again, thank you. Yours sincerely, Ros May Secretary Valley of Praise Retirement Village

07.01.2022 Following yesterdays posts in regards to COVID-19: A decision has been made this morning to close the Resident Centre and cancel all activities in the centre until further notice. We understand majority of the Residents will be disappointed by this and means they will miss out on their monthly activities, however, the health and safety of all Residents is a high priority. By closing the Resident Centre until further notice it will reduce the risk of close contact with a large... group of people, bowling bowls and other equipment being handled by multiple people sharing any unwanted germs etc. We ask Residents to be vigilant at this time, and apologise for the inconvenience it will cause. We also ask that visitors into the Village are kept to a minimum and that you only visit your family members in the village if you are confident that you answer no to ALL following questions: - Have you and/or your family or anyone you know returned from overseas travel within the last 2 weeks? - Have you and/or your family or anyone you know been in close contact with a person confirmed as having the COVID -19 Coronavirus? - Are you and/or your family or anyone you know displaying symptoms?? People with Coronavirus may experience: fever, flu-like symptoms such as coughing, sore throat, fatigue and shortness of breath? If your answer is yes to any of these questions, we ask that you self-isolate for a minimum of 2 weeks and DO NOT ENTER THE VALLEY OF PRAISE RETIREMENT VILLAGE!!! Thankyou all, we hope you can understand and work with us at this time.

05.01.2022 Dear Families of Residents, In the below link is a letter we received yesterday from SA Health following COVID-19. For your information, a copy has been given to each of the residents in the Village to keep everyone updated. As stated in previous posts, we are doing all we can to keep our Residents safe and healthy. We thank them all for their co-operation and we will continue to keep everyone up to date. Thankyou.... https://www.sahealth.sa.gov.au//COVID-19+Information+for+R
