The facility census was 46.

IP Nurse #150 consulted with the Human Resource (HR) Manager #184 and learned a total of ten employees were affected by the GI virus outbreak from 03/13/24 through 03/16/24. The infection control and surveillance logs revealed no documented evidence of any staff members being identified with the GI illness or employees calling off for illness.
