Dear Clients, Families and Team Members:
Here is today's COVID updates, section by section.
WEST CAMPUS
We are on day 7 of our original positives last Monday. It can take up to 7 days or more for COVID to incubate; so even though everyone is in quarantine, we are still expecting to get more positive cases. We plan to test every West Campus client who has tested negative again on Thursday, or individually before that if symptoms arise.
Nurses will call a resident's Emergency Contact personally if your loved one tests positive.
All activities, wellness, community dining, etc., is paused until further notice.
All visitors are paused until further notice.
EARLIEST BUILDING RELEASE FROM QUARANTINE
