In recent days, several state leaders have announced plans to test all workers and residents of long-term care facilities, which are especially vulnerable to the coronavirus.
In states like New York and Delaware, individual facilities can create their own implementation protocols. Jill Fredel, communications director at Delaware Health and Social Services, says the state is distributing resources for facilities to use at their discretion, with no definitive timeline for completing the first round.
Fredel emphasizes that as long as there are negative test results, people will have to keep being tested. She says the state will continue to supply facilities with repeat testing kits on an ongoing basis.
