Operative words

Recitals: "because healthcare providers and support staff are a source of introduction of COVID-19 into long-term care facilities, the CDC and the DOH recommend actively screening every person entering the facilities for fever and symptoms of COVID-19;... long-term care facilities are required to comply with the COVID-19 baseline testing requirements in Executive Directive 20-013".

Enforcement

Licensure; N.J.S.A. 26:13-12

Notes

Senior living: first step from the total visitation ban to protocol-based visitation.
