“After that, the virus quickly spread around,” says van Gennip. All infections have been detected at the headquarters, on Haaswijkweg Oost in the Dubbeldam district. No one has yet tested positive at the five other branches of Het Parkhuis.
At the main location, the virus mainly housed one department. Measures were taken immediately. For example, part of the new building has been accelerated as an insulation department for infected residents. Nevertheless, an infection has now also been identified in another department.
A program has been developed in consultation with the GGD, in which all residents and employees of the main location of the Parkhuis will be tested in the short term.
