March 29: COVID-19 Update

The Lakewood leadership team learned today that a healthcare team member tested positive for COVID-19 at an offsite location over the weekend. The team member is self-quarantining at home pending completion of the Virginia Department of Health (VDH) return-to-work criteria.

VDH has been alerted to this positive case and the Lakewood team is following all guidelines and recommendations. Visitation to the third floor of the Health Services Building where the team member worked is suspended at this time. Contact tracing has been completed and it was determined that no residents were in close contact with this team member. Pending the results of this week’s testing, it will be determined when visitation on the third floor in the health services building can occur.

Because no residents were in contact with the team member and because the positive case is contained to a single area, no residents are required to quarantine or isolate at this time. All residents and team members will be tested this week because of this positive case. Results will be reported as they are returned. The results will also advise on the next steps.
