A confirmed case is defined by CDC as detecting SARS-CoV-2 RNA in a clinical specimen. (PCR)

The CDC has three possible definitions for a probable case:
1️⃣Meets clinical criteria and epi evidence (no + lab results)
2️⃣Detection of specific antigen (antibody +) in a clinical specimen and meets clinical criteria or epi evidence
3️⃣Meets vital records criteria with no + lab test

Our definition of recovered is the resolution of fever, improvement of respiratory symptoms, and 14 days have passed since the onset of symptoms.

Hospitalization data will be updated on Wednesdays.

According to the Missouri Guidance on Reopening of Long-Term Care Facilities https://health.mo.gov/living/healthcondiseases/communicable/novel-coronavirus/pdf/missouri-guidance-on-reopening-of-long-term-care-facilities.pdf?fbclid=IwAR34oj9hSeH9y3CI7HDt6grnpu7YdKIKA0LK7LROb5CU5B9hUJSv8Hgegvg
One of the criteria we must meet before entering Phase 2 is:
- "The facility has adequate staffing levels. **"
Defining "adequate staffing levels" could prove challenging, I would prefer to be fully staffed so there is no question. Please share we are accepting applications in all departments including Nursing, Housekeeping and Dietary. If you know of someone interested in a career in Long-term Care please share this opportunity.
