COVID-19 Resource Round-Up

Posted on September 16, 2020 by Terri Foley

During the past few weeks, we’ve been adding many new tools and resources to our COVID-19 webpage—with a heavy emphasis on testing.

Here are a few non-testing related resources that we want to call to your attention

• As the November  election nears, we wanted to call your attention to the MDH Guidance on Elections and Voting Guidance for Long-term Care Facilities posted on our COVID-19 web page. It addresses the various options for voting as well as recommendations for candidate visits and access to candidate information.
• The COVID-19 Compliance Obligations by Provider Type grid helps providers review their obligations for Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Housing with Services settings. It addresses the following issues: face coverings and social distancing, tenants leaving and returning, 24-hour screening upon entry, visitors, move ins/returns, reporting of COVID-19 symptoms, and testing.
• The COVID-19 Staff Coping & Support Hotline toolkit can be used to raise awareness of this stress relief resource available to all staff.

Our team updates the COVID-19 webpage regularly during the week, so please check back often.
