Farmington Health Services tested all residents and staff for COVID-19 this week. Staff were tested twice, Monday and Thursday. All tests results from Monday have been returned; however, Thursday tests results are still pending. You will be notified if there are any additional positive cases. We continue to follow all recommendations from the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH), the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
- Trinity Care Center – 0 positive residents, 0 positive employees
- Trinity Terrace – 5 positive tenants, 0 positive employees
- Trinity Suites – 0 positive tenants, 0 positive employees
Our county positivity rate has risen above 10% putting our care center in the “red zone.” According to CMS calculations, all Minnesota counties, but four, are now in the “red zone.” Being in the “red zone” requires our care center to routinely test our staff twice weekly. We are also required to suspend all indoor visits at this time. We encourage you to use alternate ways to connect with your loved ones such as Zoom, Facebook Portal, Phone, and Facetiming. To schedule your visit or for more information on our visitation policy, please contact Joy at 651.460.1166.
With hospital beds nearing capacity and healthcare staffing shortages, Governor Walz issued even more COVID restrictions this week. Restaurants, breweries, bowling alleys, movie theaters, and bars will be take-out only. Gyms will close and organized indoor sports will be suspended. We need your help to control the spread of the virus in our community. We encourage you to use masks, social distance and abide by the Governor’s Orders.
Please contact me with any questions or concerns.
