Today, in advance of the approaching holiday season, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is urging nursing home staff, residents, and visitors to follow established guidelines for visitation and adherence to the core principles of infection prevention<https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDMsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMDExMTkuMzA3OTU0MTEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5jbXMuZ292L2ZpbGVzL2RvY3VtZW50L2NvdmlkLWZhY2lsaXR5LWhvbGlkYXktcmVjb21tZW5kYXRpb25zLnBkZiJ9.l4UULrBhPjJ_wH0A8ZuA35EC3h6MNOlLDCkbVzDqkoo/s/1261364167/br/90132614512-l>. These guidelines include remaining six feet apart from individuals, wearing a face covering, and limiting the number of visitors in the nursing home at any one time. Adherence to these principles is critical in preventing the spread of COVID-19 in America's nursing homes. While the holiday season is typically a time for family and friends to gather, CMS implores staff, residents, and visitors to exercise extreme caution this year.
