**Updated July 23rd, 2021**

I hope you are doing well. As communicated in a special update yesterday, one staff member tested positive for COVID-19 this week.  This staff member will remain out of work until CDC return to work criteria are satisfied.  In addition, the Center is performing outbreak testing of all patients and staff every 3-7 days until 14 days without a positive result.   At this point, there have been no further positive test results.  We will continue to keep you informed.

County Positivity Rate:  Increased at 1.3%.
Testing Frequency for Staff and Patients: Unvaccinated staff are tested weekly based on county positivity rate. Patients and staff may be tested as needed based on symptoms, exposure, or during an outbreak.
PPE: The supply remains adequate. Staff receive ongoing education on appropriate PPE utilization.
Visitation: Virtual, indoor, and outdoor visitations are all currently available. To schedule, click this link: https://potomacfalls-rehab.com/patient-visitation/.
