On the evening of 08/25/2020, we received notification that an employee who works at the RenVilla tested positive for Covid-19. This employee is at home on quarantine. No residents are positive at this time.

As a result of potential exposure, we are initiating facility wide quarantine with transmission-based precautions for all residents at the RenVilla. This is a precaution used to reduce any potential transmission within the building. Unfortunately, this means we will need to stop all patio visits and beautician visits at this time. In addition, we will initiate another round of point-prevalence-testing. We believe this is the best way to protect residents, staff, and our community.

We will continue to follow all recommendations from the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH), the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).

We will continue to promptly notify all residents, their family contact, and our staff of any changes. We will continue to update the community on our status as well as our ongoing work to prevent the spread of COVID-19 via our website (www.rhs.sfhs.org). If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to ask. You can reach me at (320) 329-4373 or cknoshal@renvilla.sfhs.org.
