I hope you had a nice Easter. We celebrated the holiday with Easter-themed activities throughout the weekend.

We continue to stress the importance of practicing core principles of COVID-19 infection prevention while visiting with your loved ones. Anyone experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 should remain at home and refrain from visiting until symptoms have resolved. Some symptoms of COVID-19 can mimic seasonal allergy symptoms such as cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue, sore throat, headache, congestion or runny nose.

City Positivity Rate:  Increased to 11.2%.
Testing Frequency for Staff and Patients:  Staff are tested twice weekly based on county positivity rate. Patients are tested as needed based on symptoms or exposure.
PPE: The supply remains adequate. Staff receive ongoing education on appropriate PPE utilization.
Visitation: Virtual and scheduled outdoor visitation are currently available.
*Previous cumulative data on COVID-19 may be found on the Center’s website: https://riverview-rehab.com/.
