F 0880 Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, staff interview and policy review, the facility failed to ensure eye protection was worn into COVID-19 positive resident's rooms. This potentially could affect eight (#31, #12, #43, #34, #13, #1, #14, #30) of twelve residents who resided on the 200 hall and did not have COVID-19. The census was 48.
