Wisconsin Long-Term Care (LTC) Education Series
Date: Thursday, May 27, 10:30 a.m.
Topic: GI Illness and Outbreaks in LTCFs & COVID-19 Guidance Updates in LTC
Wisconsin and surrounding states are in the midst of an increase in GI illness outbreaks. This session will review not only surveillance and response to GI illness in LTCFs, but also infection prevention and control principles that should be part of facilities’ prevention and response practices. Symptoms of GI illness are part of the wide-ranging symptoms possible for COVID-19 so facilities need to consider both conditions as part of their investigation and response.
Recent COVID-19 guidance updates in long-term care will be discussed.
