DSHS Offers Clarification on Infection Prevention and Control Guidance

DSHS recently issued a reminder that all assisted living and skilled nursing facilities must follow CDC guidance in infection prevention and control standards.  The letter referenced the Department of Health’s recently updated personal protective equipment expectations in transmission-based precautions, specifically calling out confirmed or suspected cases of COVID-19 infections.  For questions about this topic, providers are encouraged to email Jamie Ford at Residential Care Services.
