CURRENTLY IN EFFECT FOR THE BTV HEALTH CARE CENTER:
-
The CDC states that while community transmission rates of Covid are LOW to MODERATE, nursing home facilities may choose to not require face mask or eye protection. The BTV HEALTH CARE CENTER will encourage but no longer require face coverings according to this guidance.
-
If a visitor is seeing a resident who is quarantined due to a positive Covid-19 test, full Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is required and will be made available. This includes a gown, gloves and medical facemask.
-
PLEASE NOTE: If the Washington County Covid rate reaches HIGH, face masks will be required to enter for ALL STAFF members and encouraged for all visitors.

Residents who begin to have symptoms of COVID are reminded to immediately quarantine, call their health professional and notify Resident Care. Those testing positive may wish to consult with their doctor about receiving specific treatment.
