Elderly people in care facilities Vitalis must be quarantined when they celebrate holidays with family

Residents of Vitalis care institutions in Eindhoven who visit family or friends during the lockdown must then be quarantined in their room for two weeks. The measure also applies to public holidays. Residents are allowed to receive guests.

The management of Vitalis will let you know via the site. “We opted for this strict measure, because the current severe lockdown indicates that the risk of infection in a home situation is very high. We know from experience that one infected client can have major consequences for both residents and employees. And we must try to prevent that as much as possible. ”

National rules
If residents want to receive people, the national rules that were tightened earlier this week apply. That means:

In the meantime, Vitalis is doing everything it can to make the (festive) days as pleasant and pleasant as possible for residents. All planned activities take place within the rules as much as possible, the management also let us know.

‘Incredibly important’
“We think it is extremely important for our residents that they can continue to see their family members and friends. Preferably via a safe visit to one of our institutions because that poses fewer risks for the residents and employees of the department, ”states the management. She also points out the possibility of video calling to family and friends of her residents.

“The national lockdown demands a lot from everyone and requires resilience. We will also get through this again, with each other and for each other. ”
