FULL PHASE 1

FLORIDA’S LONG-TERM CARE TESTING STRATEGY

OBJECTIVE: Provide testing to all staff in Florida’s long-term care facilities for COVID-19 by using a multi-pronged approach for expanded testing capacity. ▪ Identify long-term care facilities capable of self-testing and provide supplies and laboratory capacity. ▪ Expand mobile testing team through the Department of Health and Florida National Guard.

FLORIDA’S LONG-TERM CARE TESTING STRATEGY

▪ Dedicated testing lanes at strategic drive-thru testing sites. ▪ Partner with hospital systems that can conduct testing within their communities for long-term care facilities. ▪ Leverage our integrated public health system through testing by local county health departments.
