On Wednesday, the Shenandoah Manor Nursing Center issued a statement to announce that one of their employees has been diagnosed with the COVID-19 virus.In Early March, the Shenandoah Manor Nursing Center was one of the first nursing home facilities in our area to introduce specific guidelines for daily testing of their employees as well as closing the facility to visitors.
In a statement on social media on Wednesday, the facility announced the following:
"several weeks ago we put in place aggressive prevention measures to keep our facility as safe as possible and we will continue to follow the advice of government and health officials to enhance these measures.
Unfortunately, we have recently had one staff member test positive for the COVID-19 and we have taken immediate action.
We are following all Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Department of Health (DOH) protocols."
The facility asks any of the resident's family members with questions to contact them.
The employee has been away from work for 7 days and even though the PA Department of Health cleared the employee to return to work as long as she wears a mask, the facility will keep the employee off work until her symptoms are gone.
