January 23, 2018
By Jonathan Lips

The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) has posted to its website the recording and presentation slides from its Jan. 12 webinar titled Preventing and Responding to Influenza in Minnesota Long-Term Care Facilities. 

Minnesota has seen a record number of outbreaks in long-term care settings — 91 flu outbreaks have been reported in long-term care settings so far this flu season. 

The MDH website offers other resources, too, including a summary of CDC guidance intended to be a reference for use during investigations of influenza outbreaks in long-term care facilities, and a link (scroll to the very top of the page) that allows you to subscribe to receive an email when new long-term care influenza information is posted.
