Family and Friends,

Duluth Health Services regrets to inform you that we had a staff member of Viewcrest test positive for COVID-19 on 11/22/20. Point Prevalence Testing (PPT) will continue this week on Monday and Wednesday. We are excited to announce that we no longer have any residents with active COVID. We are closing our COVID unit as of today, November 23rd.

As a reminder any staff who test positive will be quarantined at home and will not be allowed to return to work until they recover from the virus, are symptom free and pass the employee screening protocols. Our staff are equipped with specific training and personal protective equipment (PPE) to continue to provide safe, quality care, services and support to the residents of our community. 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).

Please do not hesitate to reach out to Tara Adkins, Administrator, at 218-279-4203 if you have any questions or concerns.
