Respiratory Illness

Each year, respiratory viruses are responsible for millions of illnesses and thousands of hospitalizations and deaths in the United States. The good news is there are actions we can all take to help protect our residents, employees and others from health risks caused by respiratory viruses, including COVID-19, flu and RSV.

Preventing the spread of respiratory viruses in skilled nursing and assisted living facilities requires a comprehensive approach that includes not only vaccination, but also testing, treatment and the prompt implementation of proven infection prevention and control measures. Taken together, these actions can protect residents and staff from respiratory viruses.

Regina Health Center follows the most up-to-date guidelines and the latest updates for health care facilities from a variety of resources to protect the health and safety of our residents, caregivers and staff.
