Review of facility policy titled COVID-19, revised May 2023, stated staff and resident testing would be conducted following nationally accepted standards, such as CDC guidelines. Review of the CDC website revealed the CDC guidelines stated asymptomatic patients with close contact with someone with SARS-CoV-2 (also known as COVID-19) infection should have a series of three viral tests for COVID infection. Close contact is being within six feet for a cumulative total of 15 minutes or more over a 24-hour period with someone with SARS-CoV-2 infection. The testing is recommended immediately (but no earlier than 24 hours after the exposure) and, if negative, again 48 hours after the first negative test and, if negative, again 48 hours after the second negative test. This would typically be on day one (where day of exposure is zero), day three, and day five. This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00146953.
