25 | The San Bruno Regional Office - San Jose Unit held a joint conference call today with the CA Department of Public Health (CDPH) to collaborate with the facility and ensure concerns regarding COVID-19 Infection Control and Mitigation procedures are addressed.
Community Care Licensing Division (CCLD) Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Gladys Kuizon, CDPH Health Facilities Evaluator Nurse (HFEN) Rebekah Bird-Wohlgemuth, CCLD Regional Manager (RM) and facility's Executive Director (ED) Kurt Gursu (Executive Director) attended the conference call.
The following were discussed today:
1. Outdoor donning and doffing tent: The facility's Memory Care building has completed its isolation period. At this time there are no active positive cases in the building. Thus, facility staff are no longer required to don and doff isolation gowns prior to entering and exiting the Memory Care building. Per today's discussion, the outdoor donning and doffing tent outdoors may be removed. Facility may move the screening area inside the building.
2. PPE use: Facility staff may use KN95 masks instead of N95 masks at this time, This only continues to apply so long as there is no active positive case that staff is caring for.
3. COVID+ resident returning from doctor's visit/hospital: Clarification from SCCPHD Nurse Schilling was received today that resident who has previously been identified as COVID+ and is returning from a doctor's visit or hospitalization does not need to complete another 14-day isolation/quarantine period.
