This message contains important information about updated COVID-19 and Influenza resources from the Pennsylvania Department of Health.
With the beginning of the 2023-2024 respiratory virus season fast approaching, DOH strongly encourages nursing homes to continue to be proactive about COVID-19 outbreak response. The COVID-19 Infection Control and Outbreak Response Toolkit for Long-Term Care is intended to aid long-term care facilities in preparing for and responding to a COVID-19 outbreak, and expand upon infection prevention and control guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. For assistance on COVID-19 infection prevention and control, providers are strongly encouraged to reach out to LTC-RISE and Project Firstline.
Also, influenza resources are now available. A 2023-2024 influenza poster and toolkit can be located by visiting the Department of Health’s Influenza Resources for Long-Term Care Facilities website.
