The outbreak of COVID-19 within Albert Risso Elderly Residential Block has now ended.
No, further positive cases have been recorded since the 15th August and all those who had contracted the virus have now recovered.
Some measures implemented during this outbreak will be lifted shortly and all residents will be informed accordingly. 


Public Health Gibraltar would like to remind all elderly residents to remain alert to the fact that the COVID-19 is still within the community and we must all continue to follow Public Health Advice.
Those vaccinated will be less likely to be infected and the symptoms will be milder, however, in extreme cases and for particularly vulnerable individuals severe consequences cannot be excluded.
For this reason, all over 60 or other risk groups, consider avoiding large groups of people, group outings or any other type of activity that include people coming together especially if inside, as these activities will increase the risk of transmission.
