DC COVID-19 Skilled Nursing Facilities

These data show the number of skilled nursing facility residents and employees who were reported to DC Health as having any type of symptom or COVID-19 exposure that prompted a healthcare provider to order a test to determine if they had COVID-19; many of these people were tested when DC Health approval was required for ordering a test through the DC Public Health Laboratory. Resident and personnel loss of life that was associated with a positive SARS-CoV-2 test has been documented since mid-March 2020; DC Health relies on assisted living facilities to be forthcoming about this information in order for it to be properly documented in public reports. A resident is determined to be "cleared from isolation for COVID-19" if they are still alive and it has been at least 21 days since their initial symptom onset date or first positive specimen collection date for this COVID-19 infection.
