Dear Residents, Families and Employees:
The COVID transmission rate in Pennsylvania declined to between 8 – 9.9%. For Bucks County, the transmission rate remains high and the 7-day metric for positivity as of today is 5.85%, which is a decline of .37% since February 22nd.
I am excited to inform you that our last positive case was February 17th. Since the last communication on February 22nd, we have continued to have residents recover from COVID-19 and currently have 6 residents who still have active COVID. The Health Center continues to do rapid outbreak testing twice per week or every 3 to 4 days, and PCR testing is as needed.
As a reminder, all residents need to continue to wear masks in all common areas that cover their nose and mouth, however, cloth masks are not appropriate personal protective equipment. The only exception for removing your masks is when eating and drinking.
- Visitors who have a positive COVID-19 test, symptoms of COVID-19 or currently meet the criteria for quarantine (exposed, potentially positive) should not enter the community, and have isolated for 10 days (day 0 is the first day of symptoms or the date of the day of the positive viral test for asymptomatic persons).
- Visitors who have a positive COVID-19 test, symptoms of COVID-19 or currently meet the criteria for quarantine (exposed, potentially positive) should not enter the community.
- Hand hygiene is required.
- Face mask covering the mouth and nose is required.
- Six feet distance between people is required.
- All visitors are strongly encouraged to have their COVID-19 vaccination or to receive the COVID-19 vaccination.
- Non-vaccinated visitors are encouraged to conduct visits outdoors (weather permitting).
- visits are permitted in the Health Center IF both roommates are vaccinated and neither resident is immunocompromised (regardless of vaccination).
Again, we truly appreciate your understanding and patience. For any questions, you may contact me directly at ldukert@wesleyenhancedliving.org or 267-895-1132. Internally, my extension is 502.
Respectfully,
Lynne Dukert, NHA, PCHA
Executive Director
