Coronavirus Update #188
CIAN Testing

As Governor Hogan previously announced, the state has allocated $6 million in funds specifically to test nursing home staff. This initiative expands existing nursing home testing by supplementing federally required nursing home staff testing across the state. On behalf of the State of Maryland, CIAN Diagnostics will provide two free rounds of diagnostic testing services for all nursing homes that choose to participate in this initiative. Staff testing will be offered on a first-come first-serve basis during the period of November 9 through December 18.

Currently, 148 SNFs have signed up for the two weeks of free testing with CIAN. There is room for 70 more centers to sign up.
