Weekly Update

Dear Residents, Tenants, Family and Friends,

As of 10/29/2020, we have no confirmed cases of COVID-19 at RenVilla, MOM, PV, or ERC. We routinely test staff weekly at RenVilla. This will be moving to monthly based on CMS reported county transmission rates. We completed the first round of Point-Prevalence Testing for staff and tenants at MOM this week. All tests returned negative. We will be conducting the 2nd (hopefully final) round on 11/3 at MOM. There were no changes for PV or ERC. We 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).

While we welcome the new indoor visitation guidelines, we continue to monitor the COVID outbreak in our community and nearby counties. RHS may ask visitors to get tested for COVID-19 prior to visiting with your loved one. Even when not experiencing symptoms, you may test positive for COVID-19 and spread the virus without knowing. Buildings conducting Point-Prevalence Testing cannot have indoor visits until after that testing is complete. To discuss scheduling your visit or for more information on our visitation policy, please contact:

COVID continues to change the way we celebrate holidays. This year our Halloween celebrations include window costume parades, virtual costume contests, and treat bag giveaways.

Looking for ways to help? We have a variety of positions available with flexible scheduling and on the job training. Most specifically, we are hiring for door screeners. For more information or to apply, visit www.jobswithus.org.

Don’t forget to get your flu shot this season to help protect our community. Please follow our website www.rhs.sfhs.org and/or Facebook page (@Renville Health Services) for all COVID updates and information on what is happening inside RHS. If you have specific questions or concerns, please contact Casie Knoshal, Administrator at 320-329-4373 or by email at cknoshal@renvilla.sfhs.org.
