Interim Infection Prevention and Control Recommendations to Prevent SARS-CoV-2 Spread in Nursing Homes | CDC
Screening testing for healthcare personnel in nursing homes is now associated with community transmission level instead of test positivity.
During an outbreak response in nursing homes, options for more targeted contact tracing have been added.
In general, assisted living communities should follow the guidance for Retirement Communities and Independent Living | CDC. However, in circumstances when healthcare is being delivered (e.g., by home health agency, staff providing care for a resident with SARS-CoV-2 infection), assisted living communities should follow the IPC recommendations in this guidance.
