Rescinding of Visitation Guidance
The COVID-19 infection rates for the people receiving services from OPWDD and our providers continue to decline. As a result, OPWDD is rescinding its COVID-19 Interim Visitation Guidance for Certified Residential Facilities that was issued on January 4, 2022.
Residential facilities with positive cases of COVID-19 should continue to adhere to the protocols contained in the document Management of Co-Circulation of Influenza and COVID-19 Infections, issued on October 20, 2020. In addition, all providers of services shall continue to require all staff, volunteers, contractors, vendors, visitors and individuals receiving services to wear appropriate face coverings, consistent with 14 NYCRR Section 633.26.
