There is an outbreak of COVID-19 in a long-term care facility in our county.. • An outbreak is defined as having 3 or more cases among residents in a facility. • The total number of cases reported includes both staff and residents. • We will not identify the long-term care facility involved in the outbreak. Washington County Public Health is working with the Iowa Dept. of Public Health, and other state and local partners to respond to this outbreak. This includes: • Following guidance that includes instruction on how to prevent the spread of infection. • Discussions about how to transfer ill residents in need to acute health care to hospitals. • Monitoring the health of residents and staff throughout the day. -Ill staff members are in self-isolation. -All residents are in self-isolation. * Regular group activities, gatherings and group meals are suspended. • Using personal protective equipment during all patient care encounters. • The facility is closed to all visitors. • Anyone who enters the facility is screened for signs and symptoms of COVID-19. This outbreak underscores that COVID-19 poses the most risk for serious illness among older adults above the age of 60 with chronic health conditions, resulting in more severe illness and death. • Currently, 10% of all positive cases are occurring among long-term care staff and residents. • More than 40% of all deaths in Iowa are among residents in facilities with an outbreak. Whether you have a loved one living or working in a long-term care facility, everyone plays a role in protecting our residents most at risk for serious illness and death. You can help prevent the spread of COVID-19: • Stay home as much as possible.If you must go out for essential errands like getting groceries or prescriptions, go alone if possible and maintain social distancing. • Practice social distancing by staying 6-feet away from other individuals. Avoid groups of more than 10 people. • Consider wearing a cloth face covering when running essential errands to protect others in case you are infected with COVID-19 and have no symptoms, or have not yet developed symptoms. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Jefferson County Public Health <https://www.facebook.com/Jefferson-County-Public-Health-1561800114107492/?__tn__=kC-R&eid=ARB5YH4TiYRG1MpygxfE0PWmG3jEl7BKsBzbM_WrApBPA3dp3Eq2fJHtG-qH-T-IR2qje3WCg5iFTSK2&hc_ref=ARSgc1Lx92edxKEDc-hkbDK8jvAjvYp6H5jkv0N-kz1QBbeu1nNsKkGxGSN7fTOOH1A&fref=nf&__xts__%5B0%5D=68.ARBPr6BoX7VnoqBpF7Zr18hpehQGzwkAoQhZCUVp3UYBwxBHkKqnUfe08uxVJ1rjipW_n2Oge6JxLu5Q3pAL8M0FAkBnaf7rFcqO8_Fx14BN6B5EOC-w07LONXKsV6GsLIqOMeszl9_CHAxih8kAC3shIXoXNoRutcCPyC4PJ8D10D-26bP28tV3vWUyuofFdxArWRwxdtFt7bCdO-rfc8-H38ct-ngzgJm_eyetrHF3GSj5bT_DLQQ-ufK6XOaiTS5otAdJNLXVALaIitZgE2aG9xH5eYGoVl8kvhrvgUZhU8fmTQFAtb9yjAiITtNaS7c7C_r6K0yIL74PYF-20DIUArLR> 2 hrs <https://www.facebook.com/1561800114107492/photos/a.1566652096955627/2645281239092702/?type=3&__xts__%5B0%5D=68.ARBPr6BoX7VnoqBpF7Zr18hpehQGzwkAoQhZCUVp3UYBwxBHkKqnUfe08uxVJ1rjipW_n2Oge6JxLu5Q3pAL8M0FAkBnaf7rFcqO8_Fx14BN6B5EOC-w07LONXKsV6GsLIqOMeszl9_CHAxih8kAC3shIXoXNoRutcCPyC4PJ8D10D-26bP28tV3vWUyuofFdxArWRwxdtFt7bCdO-rfc8-H38ct-ngzgJm_eyetrHF3GSj5bT_DLQQ-ufK6XOaiTS5otAdJNLXVALaIitZgE2aG9xH5eYGoVl8kvhrvgUZhU8fmTQFAtb9yjAiITtNaS7c7C_r6K0yIL74PYF-20DIUArLR&__tn__=-R> · <https://www.facebook.com/Jefferson-County-Public-Health-1561800114107492#> COVID-19 Update-April 06, 2020 For Immediate Release April 06, 2020 1345 Jefferson County Joint Information Center Contact: Christine Estle, Public Information Officer *At this time, Jefferson County has 3 lab confirmed cases of COVID-19. *Individuals with questions of a legal nature should call the COVID-19 Legal Information Hotline at 1-800-332-0419.
