COVID-19 Update

August 20, 2021

 

Happy Friday residents, family members and responsible parties;

Palomar Vista is pleased to report that we are currently COVID free; no staff or residents are positive for COVID-19. Of course, as you have probably heard, due to the delta variant and the general relaxing of precautions in the public, the incident rate for COVID-19 is on the rise again.

As a reminder; Recently it has been mandated that that all employees working in healthcare settings such as skilled nursing in California must be vaccinated. Additionally, all visitors to healthcare settings like Palomar Vista must provide proof of vaccination or a negative test within the last three days. These new requirements are not unique to Palomar Vista, they are being enforced statewide. Read more
