section_headers: If there is a case in the facility
What should administrators do if there is a case of COVID-19 in our facility?
section_content: Work with local health authorities to communicate the possible exposure to
residents, staff, and visitors. Clean and disinfect all shared facilities and
high-touch surfaces. Limit visitors to essential staff and visitors. Staff
and, when possible, visitors should be screened for signs and symptoms of
COVID-19 before entering the facility. Residents will need to actively monitor
their health for COVID-19 symptoms. Cancel group activities. Residences that
become ill should be advised to call the medical facility in advance of their
visit. See CDC’s full interim guidance for more
details.
