The California Department of Social Services (CDSS) has issued a new Provider Information Notice (PIN) to update licensees on the critical role of testing, modification of visitation guidelines, need for infection prevention and control, and use of face coverings in adult and senior care facilities. An informational call is scheduled for July 7, 2020, to discuss the updated guidance on COVID-19 related to these topics. The Community Care Licensing Division (CCLD) encourages licensees to participate in the call and ask questions. Licensees are also encouraged to view PIN 20-23-ASC on the CCLD website while participating in the call. The PIN aims to ensure that nursing homes and other healthcare facilities are up-to-date with current regulations and take necessary actions to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
