Good Afternoon –

Please see the results from this week’s testing below. You will be notified if any additional tests return positive.

• RenVilla – 0 residents and 0 staff tested positive. Testing staff weekly (last tested 1/12) due to point-prevalence testing.
• Meadows on Main – 0 tenants and 0 staff tested positive. We have paused testing at MOM due to no new positives in over 6 weeks.
• Prairie View – 0 tenants and 0 staff tested positive. We have paused testing at PV due to no new positives in over 4 weeks.

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

Please be patient about changes in safety protocols as vaccinations roll out across Minnesota. Even though the vaccine is here, the virus is still being transmitted throughout our state and we need to continue to be cautious to protect the health and well-being of residents and staff.

Until we receive updated guidance from the State, we ask that everyone, even those not connected directly with our care center, continue infection prevention and control practices. Please wear a mask, wash your hands, don’t touch your face when you’re out and stay home if you’re feeling sick.  These measures will help keep the positivity rate low and allow our care center to host safe and socially distanced visitation for residents as able.

We continue to work with Cami Peterson-DeVries, AGNP on our infection control practices, policies, and emergency management. If you have any questions on this, she can be reached at CPeterson-DeVries@sfhs.org or 320.287.0313.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you,

Casie Knoshal
