EO 11.13.20.02 renews the Public Health State of Emergency through Monday, Dec. 14, 2020.
Please note: Controlled outdoor visitation is still allowed.
The Executive Orders reference this DPH Administrative Order: Long Term Care Facilities Reopening Guidance.
Please Note: The Executive Order does NOT preclude Controlled Outdoor Visitation that may be conducted as part of a compassionate plan of care as long as the following is strictly adhered to:
1. Any resident that is confirmed or presumed to be actively positive for COVID-19 or is exhibiting signs or symptoms of COVID-19 should not participate in outdoor visitation.
2. All visits must be coordinated through facility staff, and visitors need to make appointments in advance of the visit to ensure visits do not overlap.
3. Compassionate care visitation should be based on the needs of the resident. The facility is not obligated to offer outdoor visitation and, if offered, is not obligated to honor all requests.
4. Proper social distancing should be maintained at all times throughout visitation.
5. During transport to and from visits, staff and resident must wear masks or face covering. Proper hand hygiene with ABHR with at least 60% alcohol must be conducted by resident and staff prior to exit from resident’s room and entrance back into the facility. ABHR must be provided to visitors for their use before and after the visit.
6. Visitors must wear a face covering/mask at all times during outdoor visitation.
7. Appropriate environmental factors, (e.g., shade structure) should be considered.
8. All furniture used during the visit (e.g., tables and chairs) needs to be cleaned and disinfected with a List N disinfectant between use. Any sharing of items during the visit should be discouraged.
