\u00b7 The NYS Health Department will partner with the State\u2019s Attorney General to investigate nursing home violations. A hotline or online form can be submitted where residents, families, or members of the public can share complaints about nursing homes that have not provided required communications with families about COVID-19 diagnoses or fatalities, nursing home abuse and neglect including failure to follow rules to keep residents safe.

OPERATIONAL UPDATES<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 Prepping for Re-opening Our Region: Although there currently isn\u2019t any guidance on when WNY will be allowed to re-open, we are optimistic we will have guidance soon and encourage everyone to be prepared in our preparations with our goal to protect the health and safety of our residents. Conditions will be monitored to limit and lessen (mitigate) any rebounds or outbreaks by restarting a phase or returning to an earlier phase, depending on the severity to protect the most vulnerable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Re-opening will be data driven to determine the viability of the process. If there is a sharp increase of positive swabs and antibody results we need to determine if it is related to increased testing, lack of following guidance or a combination of the two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

o For everyone: Wearing Masks and Social Distancing is paramount to preventing flare-ups and mini-outbreaks. Everyone needs to be compliant. Correctly wearing cloth masks (covering the mouth and nose) is part of a multi-prong approach to stop\/slow the spread of COVID-19. We know wearing a face covering is inconvenient and uncomfortable, but it can limit transmission of respiratory germs. The mask traps the droplets before they spread into the environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember wearing a face covering helps to protect others from your potential germs. \u2018My mask protects you, and your mask protects me!\u2019 Wearing masks is a way of strengthening social distancing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a7 Minimize non-essential travel and adhere to CDC guidelines regarding isolation following travel. Contact and follow the advice of your medical provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Continue the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 Continue frequent handwashing \/ hand sanitizing if soap and water<\/p>\n\n\n\n

are not available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 Continue frequent sanitizing \/ cleaning of shared surfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 Continue Social Distancing \u2013 staying 6\u2019 away from others (non-household members).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 Continue wearing face coverings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 Stay HOME if you are sick!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

o For all businesses: Develop a plan to limit the risk of infection of employees and the public. Monitor workforce for symptoms, do not allow symptomatic people to physically return to work until cleared by a medical provider. If possible continue to encourage telework whenever possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a7 The Health Department encourages stores and businesses to set guidelines that include not allowing patrons to enter if they are not wearing a face covering or wearing it correctly (covering the mouth & nose). For those who cannot wear masks for legitimate breathing issues, ask someone to run errands for you or call ahead to see if you can have door to car delivery. Make sure proper signage noting your policy is visible to patrons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a7 Close common area where personnel are likely to congregate and interact or enforce strict social distancing protocols. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a7 Ensure 6 foot buffer zones when dealing with the public. Prioritize online payments over cashiers when possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a7 Provide handwashing \/ hand sanitizing stations for employees and the public. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a7 Consider making properly worn face coverings (covering the mouth and nose) for staff and customers. For those unable to wear masks due to legitimate breathing issues, reassign them so they don\u2019t interact with the public or have close contact with fellow workers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a7 Review your sick leave policy and enforce it so no one exhibiting symptoms is allowed to report for duty. If someone becomes ill at work, have disinfecting protocol in place to clean the area the employee has been in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 There is still no cure or vaccination available for COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be alert to scams or home remedies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contact your primary care provider if you have any symptoms and follow his\/her instructions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 Swabbing and antibody testing is becoming increasingly available in the WNY region. If you are experiencing symptoms, contact your primary care provider and they will determine if testing is right for you. If the counties receive an increase in swabbing supplies and the protocol for testing is changed, we will notify the public. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Health Departments are not providing public swabbing due to lack of supplies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
