**COVID-19 Update**
September 23rd, 2021

I hope everyone is staying safe and enjoying the cooler temperatures of these first days of Fall. The Center’s outbreak has been isolated to the ART Unit thus far. I will continue to provide updates as the situation changes.

CDC County Community Transmission Level and Percent Positivity: High – decreased to 18.6%
Testing: While in an outbreak, patients and staff are tested every 3-7 days until the Center is 14 days without a positive test result.
PPE: The supply remains adequate. Staff have received education on appropriate PPE utilization.
Visitation: In-person visitation is temporarily suspended for patients located on the orange and yellow halls of ART Unit during the outbreak. Patients located on the blue hall of ART may have virtual and outdoor visits. Virtual, indoor, and outdoor visitation is available to all other units and for all compassionate care visits.

Please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have.

Sincerely,

Stacy Taylor, RN, BSN, LNHA
