**COVID-19 Update**
November 9th, 2021

I hope your week is going well and you are staying safe. As we enter flu season, we encourage everyone to become vaccinated for influenza and COVID-19. Booster doses have been approved for each of the available vaccines – Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson.

CDC County Community Transmission Level: Substantial
Testing: Patients may be tested as needed based on symptoms, exposure, or during an outbreak. Staff are tested twice per week due to the community transmission level.
PPE: The supply remains adequate. Staff have received ongoing education on appropriate PPE utilization.
Visitation: Virtual, indoor, and outdoor visitations are currently available. 

As always, please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have.

Sincerely,

Kate Whittington, LNHA
