1. The employer is not following COVID protocol and is keeping positive residents in the same area as non-positive (healthy) residents. 2. The employer is not providing proper safety personal protective equipment. Employees are using one size fits all raincoats as shared gowns that are stored in the COVID positive residents room; employees have to reach into the rooms to grab the equipment and then don it in the hallway. Aides only get one surgical mask per shift and N95 respirators are not provided. 3. There is no equipment such as thermometers, blood pressure cuffs, etc, that is designated for use with COVID positive residents only. 4. Residents and staff members have not been tested for covid since the first positive test. 5. Staff are not properly trained to work with COVID positive residents; e.g., one aide was wearing the same gown and gloves when caring for both COVID positive residents and those residents who are on watch for possible COVID (on watch because they refuse to retest). 6. The infected residents and healthy residents are cared for by the same aides.
