The following information is to provide instruction to residential facilities on completing a COVID-19 Risk Assessment when a staff or person tests positive for COVID-19. Residential facilities include:
- Adult and child foster care
- Community residential services
- Intermediate care facilities for persons with developmental disabilities (ICFs/DD)
- Children’s residential facilities
- Detox services
- Residential facilities for adults with mental illness
- Residential substance use disorder treatment
- Withdrawal management programs.
Provider instructions to complete COVID-19 risk assessment
Residential settings licensed by the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) are responsible to:
- Work with the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) to identify when a staff member has been exposed to COVID-19
- Complete a risk assessment to mitigate infection spread.
If a person who lives or works in a licensed setting is diagnosed with COVID-19, DHS and MDH will reach out to the person and the provider to gather information and provide support through the outbreak. Meanwhile, licensed providers should use this recently published guidance, Instructions to complete COVID-19 risk assessments, DHS-8065 (PDF) that outlines the required steps to complete the risk-assessment process.
