“It’s a day by day basis, we don’t know when it will end”.
Ms Sharp reported that the lock down started last Tuesday and that residents’ families can contact Weeroona to see if visiting is an option.

“They (residents families) can continue to contact us and we’ll let them know whether they are able to visit or not”.
