The Bureau of Epidemiology’s COVID-19 Infection Control and Outbreak Response team has updated the COVID-19 LTC Toolkit (Version 1.1 February 2024).
Link: https://www.health.pa.gov/topics/Documents/Programs/HAIP-AS/COVID-19%20LTC%20Toolkit.pdf
Important note for our LTC partners:
This update included minor edits and no major changes to the IPC guidance. Below is a summary of the changes (outlined on p.2 of the toolkit):
- Added language to the table of outbreak reporting requirements on page 41 for clarity; no change to procedure
- Removed resources that are no longer relevant to current guidance throughout the text
- Removed duplicative wording for clarity, or made minor edits to improve readability
- Removed outdated language, for examples “boosters” in vaccination section
- Updated hyperlinks to electronic resources embedded in text to ensure all hyperlinks are functioning properly
