WHAT’S ON OUR MIND

After three rounds of surveillance testing, Manor of the Plains has identified three cases of COVID-19 among 3 direct-care staff and 1 COVID-positive resident.

Manor of the Plains has identified another case of COVID-19. The case was identified through the community’s new employee screening process, which includes a COVID-19 test.

A non-direct resident care worker at Manor of the Plains who last worked on August 26, has tested positive for COVID-19. The employee, who passed the pre-shift employee screening and wore personal protective equipment (PPE) as recommended, has not been on the schedule, but called in August 31 for a shift reporting signs and symptoms consistent with COVID-19. The employee was asked to get a rapid test, which we have learned is positive.
