**COVID-19 Update**
October 12th, 2021

We hope everyone is staying safe and healthy. We will be testing patients again on Wednesday, October 13, 2021, and anticipate that the outbreak will officially end if no additional positive results are identified.

CDC County Community Transmission Level and Percent Positivity: Substantial – decreased to 3.6%
Testing: While in an outbreak, patients and staff are tested every 3-7 days until the Center is 14 days without a positive test result.
PPE: The supply remains adequate. Staff have received ongoing education on appropriate PPE utilization.
Visitation: Visitation is temporarily suspended for a portion of the Great Falls Unit with the exception of compassionate care visits. Visitation remains available on all other units.

As always, please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have.

Sincerely,

Leslie Ruffner, LNHA
Administrator
