Weekly Update - October 24, 2020

POSTED Oct 24, 2020

To date, we have had two additional positive COVID-19 test results from our employees and none for our residents and we have not had three or more residents or staff with new onset of respiratory symptoms occurring within 72 hours of each other.  Therefore, cumulatively to date since March 2020 we have a total of four nursing facility residents and a total of four nursing facility staff members who tested positive for COVID-19 at various times during this seven-month period.  We are taking necessary infection prevention and control measures to limit potential exposures which includes but not limited to testing the residents and staff and creating cohorting zones as per the Pennsylvania Department of Health guidance.
