COVID-19 Resource Round-Up

Posted on October 28, 2020 by Terri Foley

In LeadingAge Minnesota’s weekly Huddles and Clinical Coaching Rooms, we continue to get questions about the length of quarantine and when staff can be back at work.

Recommendations for quarantining staff and residents are visually displayed in our new COVID-19 Quarantine Decision Guide.

This tool combines multiple sets of guidance published by the Minnesota Department of Health, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, describing the length of time a staff member and/or resident should be quarantined or isolated.

In the area of testing, the resources below were released recently:

• MDH Instructions for Reporting Long-term Care COVID-19 Point-of-Care Antigen Testing Results (10/21/20)

• MDH COVID-19 Lab Results Reporting File Template QSA (Excel)
  for Quidel Sofia Antigen testing equipment
• MDH COVID-19 Lab Results Reporting File Template BVA (Excel)
  for BD Veritor Antigen testing equipment
• MDH COVID-19 Lab Results Reporting File Template ABN (Excel)
  for Abbott BinaxNow COVID-19 Ag Card

• Payment for COVID-19 Lab Tests in Minnesota Long-Term Care Settings
