Official with the Elm Crest Senior Living Center in Harlan announced Sunday, that they have had several residents test positive for COVID 19, and that the facility will now join others in the area and across the State where such outbreaks have taken place. The Center says “Please understand this returns us to having all residents remain in their rooms as much as possible—meals will be served in rooms and we will have no small group activities.”

They said also, “Contact tracing is being done with those residents that tested positive (If it was your resident you have already been notified). The residents who tested positive have been moved to the isolation hall and we will use dedicated staff for their care. We continue to work with the Iowa Department of Public Health as well as follow all regulations as set forth by CMS.”
