Contact CDC & CMS for Relief on COVID Guidance

Contact CMS and CDC to request that they update the guidance on PPE, screening, testing, and quarantine.

 

Why it matters: The CDC and CMS have signaled that they are reviewing the COVID-19 guidance for health care and congregate care settings.

Your message can be brief.

  • Discuss the challenges your residents and staff face under the current COVID-19 guidance.
  • Help the agencies understand how the current guidance is not sustainable and makes it hard on residents, families, and staff.

 

Additional details: AHCA has shared a data driven/commonsense plan with CDC and CMS to relieve restrictions when COVID risks are low with specific recommendations to revise the relevant QSO memos. Throughout the pandemic VDH has followed federal agency guidance, so any changes at the state level will be precipitated by changes at the federal level.
