The new guidance for the general public recommends that people with respiratory virus symptoms stay home and away from others until at least 24 hours after both resolution of fever and overall symptoms are getting better. The updated guidance does not apply to nursing homes and other health care settings, where pre-existing COVID-19 guidance continues to apply.

Topics to be addressed in the four-part webinar series include risk assessment and plan development, surveillance and NHSN reporting, hand hygiene, standard and transmission-based precautions, occupational and resident health, facility-acquired infections, cleaning and disinfection, and antimicrobial stewardship.

The reminder offers information and resources to assist organizations in their efforts to encourage older adults to obtain all three respiratory virus vaccines, as appropriate and in consultation with an individual’s doctor/health care provider.

With seasonal influenza, COVID-19, and RSV activity remaining elevated in most parts of the country, LeadingAge NY shares several resources to help members be proactive.

Webinar scheduled for Jan. 25^th from 1-2:30 p.m.
