AHCA/NCAL President & CEO Mark Parkinson went on CNN to discuss efforts long term care providers are taking to limit the spread of conorana virus and discuss new guidance we’ve recently issued. 

• We recommend:
• Actively screening every person who comes into a center: family visitors, staff, contractors, government officials – anyone who is coming in
• Limiting visits to only those who are essential 
• Focusing on good hand hygiene 
• Exploring alternate ways for residents to stay in touch with their loved ones 
• Encouraging providers to provide communication and updates to families
