Hello Bel Vista Family and Friends,
There is new guidance that is effective January 7, 2022, and will supersede all prior Requirements for Visitors in Acute Health Care and Long-Term Care Settings State Public Health Officer Order.
Please take the time to read the health order as it addresses special circumstances (such as when a resident is unable to leave their room or for visitors who visit on consecutive days).
The essence of the HO,
* Indoor visitation is only allowed for individuals who have all the recommended vaccines (this includes booster if the individual is eligible) AND a negative test (within 24hrs if antigen and 48hrs if PCR)
* Outdoor visitation is permitted for only those who do not meet the indoor vaccination requirement but meet the negative test requirement.
* All visitors must wear a well-fitted mask and socially distance from facility personnel and all other residents/visitors
Review this order on the California Department of Public Health Website.
