Guidance on adult day services, care centers, programs, and adult pre-vocational programs has been posted to the DHS COVID-19 Long-Term Care Facilities page. These programs are at increased risk for COVID-19 transmission because there is increased risk when multiple people gather and interact.

Q: Are serology (antibody) test results reportable?
A: Yes, but only positive laboratory test results from a serologic test (antibody test) must be reported. Negative results do not need to be reported. Patients being tested using a serologic test (antibody test) do not need to be reported until positive test results are received. Reporting guidelines can be found on the DHS COVID-19 Health Care Professionals page.
