Good morning,

I wanted to provide an update as to our covid numbers. As of today, we are 9 current positives, which includes one staff person, with a total of 153 since the beginning of the pandemic. We are testing twice weekly the staff and residents that work and reside on the effected unit, as well as anyone that is symptomatic. It does seem that the strain that is circulating at present does present with more apparent symptoms that what was going around earlier this year.  

The residents are able to come off of isolation on day 11 so we have several that are coming off isolation this week, so the active number will hopefully continue to decrease!  Numbers in RI continue to be a moderate level of transmission, so we still need to be vigilant.  We have had a booster clinic for the second booster for the SNF residents and will be having one for the ALF this coming week.

Please continue to practice good mask hygiene and wash your hands well and frequently.  Enjoy the spring weather that seems to finally be coming our way and Happy Mother's Day!
