Also on Tuesday, the Department of Human Services and Department of Health announced that all assisted living residences, personal care homes and private intermediate care facilities in Pennsylvania have completed universal baseline COVID-19 testing.

DOH Secretary Dr. Rachel Levine signed an order June 26 directing these facilities to test all residents and staff by Aug. 31.

“Pennsylvania’s long-term care system serves more than 127,000 people living in nursing homes, personal care homes, assisted living residences, and private intermediate care facilities. We must learn from experiences of the last six months and continue to strengthen prevention and response efforts as this pandemic evolves,” said DHS Secretary Teresa Miller. “Protecting medically fragile and vulnerable residents of long-term care facilities requires constant vigilance, and this universal baseline testing is a critical step in allowing these facilities to know the status of COVID-19 in their facility that will inform mitigation efforts and steps necessary to keep residents and staff safe as we move into the fall.”
