Covid Update

During the last month we have been tested for Covid once and sometimes twice a week.  Those who tested positive had to quarantine for 14 days and there was social distancing created in the dining room for those of us not quarantined.

On Oct 28 we received the news that we could get booster shots at Smiths and we were told that 3 people had tested positive in the last 3 weeks.

On Nov 2 all activities, games, transportation, housekeeping and maintenance were suspended until further notice.  We were also told to wash our hands frequently and wear a mask in the common areas.  Visitors were limited to those caring for their loved ones, hopefully the same person every day.  Most all positive patients had been vaccinated and Jeanne had received the booster shot the week before.  The Utah Department of Health tested us for the first time on Wednesday 11/3.  

On Nov 4 we were told there were reveal several additional cases of Covid in our community revealed in the testing.  They are testing again on the 8th and 12th.  Anyone with sickness of any kind was asked to self quarantine.

On the 10th we were told the testing on the 8th had just a few cases and all were notified immediately as well as their families.  Conditions remain the same.

On the 13th we were told there were no new cases in the last testing.  Conditions remain the same.  We are going to be tested again.

On November 29 the dining room is back to normal and breakfast buffet is on.  Masks do not need to be worn and apartments are open to visitors.  The dining room remains closed to visitors.  Some activities will be resumed.  No home evening till next week.

Jeanne and I have been watching church on my tablet at the link that Steven gave me.  Linda bought us a speaker so it is easier to hear and just watch one tablet.  

The shuttle will start again next Sunday but I told Steven since Jeanne had had two blowouts in the morning I was hesitant to take her to Church so we were sticking with the tablet zoom meeting.  We miss the Relief Society and Sunday School lesson.  Jeanne does not remember the blowouts so she has no fear of going anywhere but I do.
