The PIN emphasizes that fully vaccinated residents and staff should continue to follow current guidance, including wearing face coverings and maintaining physical distance. It also provides guidelines for indoor and outdoor visitation, as well as best practices to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission during visits. Licensees must screen all visitors for symptoms and ensure they wear face coverings and follow physical distancing rules. The PIN also outlines requirements for communal dining, group activities, and non-essential services, and provides guidance for residents returning from outings and new admissions.
