We want to provide an update on COVID-19 within our Abbey Delray community. We learned recently, that two of our team members tested positive for the virus. By way of recap, we have three team member cases of COVID-19, and both are self-isolating at home with the support of our Human Resources team.
As previously communicated, we have two Health Center resident cases of the virus, and both are being cared for in our Health Center.
We understand that you have concerns about the current COVID-19 status in our community, and many of you have questions. Please know we continue in our commitment to protect the health and safety of our residents and team members. Our team continues to be proactive in mitigating the risk of further exposure to the virus within our community.
As you may be aware, cases of COVID-19 continue to increase in Florida. In response, Lifespace and Abbey Delray continue to follow heightened infection control guidelines. We highly encourage residents to only leave the community for essential needs like groceries or critical medical appointments. Residents and team members are also encouraged to practice social distancing, and we ask that you wear a mask or face covering when you interact with others in public settings. Continued attention to proper hand hygiene, including handwashing and the use of alcohol-based hand sanitizer, is essential to preventing the spread of the virus. As we have done throughout the last several weeks, we will regularly communicate updates about our efforts to maintain a safe and healthy community.
We appreciate your support and continued adherence to the protocols we have implemented to protect our residents and team members. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Abbey Delray management team.
Thank you for your continued support.
