Are long-term facilities testing for COVID-19?

This information can change, please double-check sources for information, and continue to monitor sources or back here for updates.

Since the first outbreak at a long-term care facility, OHA has determined that it is not helpful to test every resident and staff member because:

• Infection-control precautions remain the same regardless of how many people are identified as positive for COVID-19.
• It does not change any treatment the patients will receive, nor does it change how the outbreak will be managed.
