Five staff members at Blue Mountain Care Center in Prairie City have tested positive for COVID-19 in the last 28 days.
The Grant County Health Department and Blue Mountain Hospital District announced the results of BMCCâs COVID-19 testing program for employees and residents Tuesday.
All five of the positive results are employee-related, with no positive resident test results, according to a press release.
These positive test results are components of a required employee testing program mandated by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
Due to these positive tests results, BMCC will be listed on the Oregon Health Authority COVID-19 Weekly Report, which summarizes long-term care facilities with three or more positive tests over 28 days ending on Dec. 20.
