During the past week, several new tools on testing have been added to the LeadingAge Minnesota COVID-19 webpage.

• On testing related to Modifying Visitation, we’ve developed a Testing Plan Toolkit w/MDH Template as you plan your reopening strategy. There are also links to staff awareness resources on testing:  Handout if Staff Refuses Testing and MDH Poster for Staff Awareness on Testing.
• On the new CMS Nursing Home testing rule, check out our Testing Requirements Decision Guide that outlines approaches to symptomatic individuals, testing during an outbreak, and routine testing.
• Another tool released by MDH last week was the Elections and Voting Guidance for Long-term Care Facilities.
