COVID-19

Update 10th September 2021

Dear Residents, Family and Friends

Parts of regional NSW have been deemed low risk because they have seen zero COVID cases for at least 14 days.  Oberon Village will emerge from lockdown from Saturday 11 September, but will continue to operate under a range restrictions to ensure the safety of regional communities.

There are however a number of communities that will remain under the stay at home orders, namely Greater Sydney, Bathurst, Lithgow and Orange.  To review the full update please go to:- https://www.nsw.gov.au/media-releases/lockdown-lifted-parts-of-regional-nsw.

Oberon Village has not received updated advice from NSW Health regarding visitor access.  NSW Health are still advising residential aged care facilities to exclude all visitors except those providing essential care functions or end of life visits. 

Family and friends are able to book a phone or video call with Residents. If you would like to set up a time please email or ring Reception during business hours for assistance.

Please remember future visitors will be asked to provide proof of full vaccination (2 doses) prior to entry and proof of a negative COVID-19 test (no more than 7 days old).  If you are fully vaccinated please email your certificate to Columbia so that we have a copy on file for when we are able to receive visitors.
