Aberdeen Village employees, contract employees COVID positive 1/22

Three direct care employees, two non-direct care employees and a direct care contract employee at Aberdeen Village have tested positive for COVID-19. The employees last worked on dates ranging from January 16 to January 27. During the last shifts worked, the employees passed pre-shift screening and wore personal protective equipment as required.

We have notified the Johnson County Health Department and will follow their guidance. Visitation continues with infection control precautions and social distancing requirements per new Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) requirements.

We will follow the PMMA Emergent Infectious Disease (EID) policy, CDC and KDHE guidelines for when the employees may return to work.  Upon their return to work, we will follow CDC recommendations related to work practices and restrictions.

PMMA strongly encourages family members, employees and residents to carefully consider getting a COVID-19 vaccination for themselves, as well as their loved ones. Every person who receives the vaccine will strengthen the protection for all residents, staff and the community at-large.

All employees are encouraged to follow CDC guidelines and best practices as these are continually updated. The community regularly reinforces with all staff that an employee should not report to work if he or she is experiencing symptoms of a respiratory illness or not feeling well.
