 We have completed the first round of outbreak testing and have not had any  new positive test results for employees or residents.  Residents who were exposed to the employee that tested positive are in  Yellow Zones and still on transmission based precautions until next Tuesday.  Indoor visits for residents not on "isolation" (in a Yellow Zone) are permitted to have indoor visits.  Those who are in Yellow Zones may have window visits. Our staff are working on updating visitation schedules.  

The county positivity rates will be updated tomorrow and I will post them along with any new information tomorrow.

UPDATED FOR AUGUST 11, 2021

 While conducting outbreak testing today, we have identified two positive resident test results on Baker Wing.  Last week, the facility informed you that there were two positive employee cases from Baker wing and they began outbreak testing.  They had completed the first round of outbreak testing and did not identify any new positive cases. However, while doing outbreak testing today, they identified two residents who tested positive. Both residents have been fully vaccinated.  The residents have been moved to the designated RED ZONE where they will remain in isolation until they are off transmission-based precautions.  Communal dining, indoor visits and group activities have been suspended for Baker, Rosemont, and Rehab.  As a reminder, Rehab back hall is designated as a Yellow Zone for new residents or those residents who are identified with potential exposure to COVID-19.  Rosemont has been designated YELLOW effective yesterday following the staff positive case that was communicated
