guidelines.
Visitation Risks
Residents and visitors should be aware that as a congregate living facility, there are
risks associated with participating in visitations, even if the resident and visitors
are fully vaccinated. Outdoor visitations are preferred since they pose a lower risk
of transmission due to increased space and airflow. Residents and visitors should
practice the Core Principles of Infection Control identified on this handout.
Core Principles of COVID-19 Infection Prevention
•
Vaccination for COVID-19 has been shown to be highly effective.
•
Screening all who enter the facility for signs and symptoms of COVID-19,
which may include temperature checks, and denial of entry of those with signs
or symptoms or those who have had close contact with someone with COVID-
19 infection in the prior 14 days (regardless of the visitor’s vaccination status).
o
All visitors must notify the facility if they develop symptoms of COVID-19
within 3 days following the visit.
•
Perform hand hygiene with the use of alcohol-based hand rub, which is
preferred to soap and water, unless hands are visibly soiled.
•
Require face covering or mask (covering mouth and nose), in accordance with
CDC guidance, FDA guidance or other state or local guidance.
•
Employ physical distancing of at least 6 feet between persons, in accordance
with CDC guidance.
•
Instructional signage throughout the facility and proper visitor education on
COVID-19 signs and symptoms, infection control precautions, and other
applicable facility practices (use of masks, specified entries, exits and routes to
designated areas, hand hygiene).
•
Cleaning and disinfecting high-touch surfaces in the facility often, and
designated visitation areas after each visit.
•
Ensuring appropriate staff use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
•
Effective cohorting of residents (e.g., separate areas dedicated to COVID-19).
•
Resident and staff testing conducted as required.
*Fully vaccinated refers to a person who is greater than or equal to 4 weeks
following receipt of the second dose in a 2 dose series or greater than or equal to 2
weeks following receipt of one dose of a single-dose vaccine, per the CDC’s
Public Health Recommendations for Vaccinated Persons.
