COVID TESTING & PATIENT BED ASSIGNMENTS
ECHC has just announced how they addressed the issue RNs have raised regarding Patient COVID testing and bed placement!
• All new admissions require a COVID test prior to admission to ECHC. 

• The new admissions are tested again within 24 hours of bed assignment.  

• ECHC has established a dedicated Admission Unit with single occupancy for all new admissions for 14 days.

• After the 14 day quarantine period and close medical monitoring, the patients then receive another COVID test prior to transfer to a different patient care unit.

• Patients are then COVID tested within 48 hours of discharge. 
Please contact a Local Officer or your Labor Rep. with any questions or concerns regarding this matter.
