IDPH has issed a memorandum "Guidelines for the Prevention and Control of Influenza Outbreaks in Illinois Long Term Care Facilities"

The purpose of the memorandum is to provide long-term care facilities (LTCF) and other residential health and living facilities with current guidance for preventing and controlling influenza cases and outbreaks and with information on the reporting requirements in the event of a suspected or confirmed influenza outbreak. Specific guidance pertaining to COVID-19 can be found on the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) or Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) websites. While notes specific to COVID-19 are mentioned in some sections of the document, the primary intent of the memorandum is to provide guidance for influenza. In certain situation, COVID-19 guidance may be more restrictive than the influenza guidance mentioned in this document. Facilities should defer to the appropriate guidance for the situation currently occurring in the community and the state, as the more restrictive guidance may be recommended.
