Free Webinar: Watch in LTC Communities: Regaining Control to Keep Seniors Safe against COVID-196/25/20201pm2pm
Sponsored by Enviral Tech
| The deadly implications of COVID-19 are particularly daunting for the long term care community as their facilities account for 45% of COVID-19-related fatalities nationwide. Human testing and access restriction have been invaluable but have so far not been sufficient to protect these at-risk communities.
In the past two months, over 50 long term care facilities in the US have participated in a study to test a new proactive approach. They tested facility surfaces for the presence of virus to provide earlier warning of outbreaks. In this discussion, we’ll share for the first time the result of this study. We’ll show examples of how long term care facilities successfully stopped COVID‑19 outbreaks by detecting virus left on facility surfaces by non-symptomatic COVID-19-positive staff members, days or possibly weeks earlier than they would have been found. We will also share the participants’ impressions related to ease-of-use, cost-effectiveness, and improvement of resident and employee well-being. View the brochure here and register for free here!
