 There continue to be no positive cases of COVID-19 amongst staff or residents.  The facility will be completing monthly testing of staff 11/1 through 11/3 based on Lancaster County's positivity rating remaining below 5%.  This week, Lancaster County was at 3.9%.  We are checking the positivity rating every week on Monday to determine our testing course of action.  We continue to follow CMS and PA DOH guidance regarding use of PPE and infection control precautions.  Any changes or updates on our COVID-19 situation will be posted here as we have done throughout the pandemic.  Have a nice weekend!
