LIVE | Corona outbreak in care facility for mentally disabled Appelscha | Inland

The corona virus has been diagnosed in 37 people at an institution for people with intellectual disabilities in Appelscha in Friesland. This confirms a spokesperson for care institution OlmenEs after reporting by the Leeuwarder Courant and the Dagblad van het Noorden. Nineteen employees also tested positive.

The first positive test was a week and a half ago. “That client was then immediately quarantined with all necessary precautions. We hoped it was not spread further, but it was, ”said a spokesman.

Last Friday, the GGD tested all 130 residents. It showed that 37 people are infected. “All people who showed symptoms were already quarantined. These clients are then helped by employees who are lifted into full suits to stay safe, ”said the spokesperson.

On the site in Appelscha, OlmenEs has two buildings where only corona patients are located. Another possibility is that an infected client remains in their own room, but that is not possible for everyone.

Infected residents have as yet no serious complaints, a number of people have mild complaints, according to the spokesman. “We are happy that no one is very ill, but there is a lot of shock.”
