The California Department of Social Services (CDSS) has issued a new Provider Information Notice (PIN) outlining prevention, mitigation, and containment measures for influenza, COVID-19, and pneumonia in adult day programs. The PIN is based on recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and California Department of Public Health (CDPH) guidance. Healthcare facilities are required to post the PIN in an easily accessible location for clients and distribute relevant information to clients and their authorized representatives. The PIN provides information on signs and symptoms, transmission, incubation, and contagiousness, as well as prevention measures such as vaccinations, testing, and treatment. Adult day program providers must report suspected or confirmed epidemic outbreaks to the local Adult and Senior Care Regional Office and the client's authorized representative.
