AUBURN Allan St. Germain, 69, isn’t happy.
The resident of Clover Manor is frustrated with the ongoing outbreaks of COVID-19 that restricts him and others to their rooms and from having visitors.
The current lockdown was prompted after four residents and five workers tested positive for the virus. Eight of the nine had already been fully vaccinated. And the four residents had no symptoms.
St. Germain wants to go out, see his family and go to the community dining room. But he and other residents can’t until 14 days after everyone tests negative for the coronavirus.
“I’ve been vaccinated,” St. Germain said. “I’m sitting in my room. I have to put a mask on to go into the hallway. I can’t go to dinner. I can’t see loved ones.”
