Het scenario

Wat er gebeurt

An inspection has revealed the presence of Legionella in the healthcare facility’s water system. This may pose a health risk to vulnerable residents and patients. As a precaution, showers and certain taps have been shut off and additional checks are being carried out. Residents, patients and their families want to know what is happening, what this means for them and what measures are in place. Staff need clear instructions on how to use the water. The ‘GGD’ is helping to devise the approach. It is important that everyone receives the same, reliable information at the same time, so that calm and confidence are maintained.
