The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has issued new guidance for infection control and prevention of COVID-19 in nursing homes. The guidance advises nursing homes to improve their infection control and prevention practices, monitor the CDC website for information and resources, and contact their local health department when needed. Facilities should screen visitors for international travel, respiratory infection symptoms, and contact with anyone with or under investigation for COVID-19. Staff should also be screened and not report to work if they show symptoms. Nursing homes should contact their local health department if a resident is suspected of having COVID-19. The guidance also provides information on when to transfer or accept residents diagnosed with COVID-19 and additional resources for improving infection control and prevention.
