COVID-19 outbreak identified at Southlands

Wed, 15 Sep 2021

An outbreak of COVID-19 has been identified at Southlands.

Manx Care said the four older persons units at Southlands have been closed for a period of 14 days. That means no visitors unless essential or in exceptional circumstances.

Residents will not be supported to leave the home for that period of 14 days. Next of kin have been informed of this action.

Two units have identified cases, but all four units have been closed as a precaution whilst surveillance testing and risk mitigation takes place.

This closure does not affect the dementia units; Gansey and Bradda, or the Day Centre as these have separate self-contained entrances, or any other Manx Care home.
