ProCare Nursing provide full guidance to all carers on Coronavirus (COVID-19)
ProCare Nursing have been fully prepared when it comes to the Coronavirus (COVID-19). We have briefed all our carers at our agency on all the necessary safety precautions that need to be taken.
Our service user’s health and safety is paramount at our health and social care agency. We have instructed all our carers to take extra duties onboard from thoroughly washing hands along with other precautions. We have provided information on the symptoms of Coronavirus (COVID-19) and what you should do if you have symptoms.
If any of our carers have symptoms of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) we are advising them to self-isolate and get in touch with their local GP, this will prevent the further spread of the virus to any of our carers and service users, there is also the NHS helpine that can be used for further advice, the number you need to dial is 111.
We have issued advice on washing hands to all our carers working out in the field, including all our office staff co-ordinating from our head office.
Only yesterday did the World Health Organisation declare Coronavirus (COVID-19) a pandemic. The virus has spread to over 20 countries in Europe, there are currently 460 confirmed cases of Coronavirus in the UK mostly within England, from which there have been 8 confirmed deaths, however, there have been over 4000 deaths worldwide.
Sporting events have been cancelled, football matches are being played behind closed doors or postponed, the latest sporting development is the Mclaren F1 team have pulled out of the opening Australian F1 Grand Prix taking place at Albert Park, Melbourne, after a mechanic was diagnosed with the virus.
It has been reported by the BBC that the UK Government is to step up its response to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) to stop the virus further spreading. We have advised any carers not to report to work if they are experiencing symptoms.
The Coronavirus (COVID-19) has surpassed the SARS virus. SARS killed 774 people from November 2002 to July 2003, however COVID-19 has killed 3 times that many people within eight weeks, these statistics are alarming, but, rest assure that ProCare Nursing are doing all we can to ensure all carers and workers are properly informed with regards Coronavirus (COVID-19), with the safety of our carers and service users at the heart of all the guidelines issued.
