Special LeadingAge Ohio All-Member Call:
Thursday, September 29 at 12:30PM


Late last Friday afternoon, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released long-awaited recommendations for healthcare settings that were over six months in the making. Accordingly, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) issued an updated Nursing Home Visitation Memos (QSO-20-39-NH-Revised and QSO-20-38-NH-Revised) with the updated CDC guidance. Updates include changes to screening, screening testing, source control, quarantine and work restriction, and designated COVID units.

Most notably, recommendations for infection control and mitigation measures are no longer based on vaccination status. This means that the status of being “up to date” with COVID-19 vaccination no longer impacts things like testing and quarantine. Access the full recommendations here. Read the LeadingAge highlights here.

LeadingAge Ohio will hold a special all-member webinar this Thursday, September 29 at 12:30PM to review the new guidance and how it interacts with Ohio guidance.
