Important Updates on COVID-19 Testing for Nursing Facility Staff

The Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH) and partners Probari and ZOTEC began the 2^nd round of testing all nursing facility staff across Indiana last week. More than 40 facilities were tested last week.

The ISDH has shared additional information and important reminders to ensure your facility has a convenient testing experience.

Important Information: Quick Facts, FAQs and Reminders from ISDH

• The COVID-19 test drop offs will resume tomorrow i.e. August 18, and the ISDH is notifying facilities in advance to:
  1. submit their Registration Rosters, and
  2. walk them through the process.
• All facilities should have been granted ZOTEC Access to at least 1 person (likely the administrator) so they can view their registered employees in advance and make adjustments ahead of their scheduled date.  Please click here to access step-by-step instructions for ZOTEC.
• ISDH has also developed a comprehensive FAQ document providing information on some general questions, and some specific questions related to registration and kit drop off and testing, and accessing testing results.
• Please note: The ISDH is directly sending results to facilities at this point because data is not yet being sent to the LTC COVID App.  Once that’s connected, the ISDH team will ONLY call the new positives at each facility.
