| The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), in collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), issued updated guidance today for nursing homes to safely expand visitation options during the COVID-19 pandemic public health emergency (PHE). This latest guidance comes as more than three million doses of vaccines have been administered within nursing homes, thanks in part to the CDC's Pharmacy Partnership for Long-Term Care Program, following the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) authorization for emergency use of COVID-19 vaccines. According to the updated guidance, facilities should allow responsible indoor visitation at all times and for all residents, regardless of vaccination status of the resident, or visitor, unless certain scenarios arise that would limit visitation. Read the full press release. Join CMS and CDC tomorrow, March 11, for a National Nursing Home Stakeholder Call. ***Register in advance for this Zoom Call:*** https://cms.zoomgov.com/webinar/register/WN_ycA-sbK4TW-lg5HzX_YpqA |
