The Chesapeake COVID-19 Communication Hub

Since the beginning of the pandemic, The Chesapeake’s team has been working diligently to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The safety, security and health of all our residents is our chief concern. To that end, The Chesapeake’s leadership team continues to ask that all team members, residents and visitors follow the guidelines recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in an effort to limit the virus’s impact.

The Chesapeake’s team will continue with interventions already in place to reduce the risk of virus introduction and transmission.

These interventions include, but are not limited to:

Screening all individuals who enter the community
Ongoing education for team members and residents regarding infection control practices
Appropriate cleaning and disinfecting, particularly for common areas, shared spaces and high-touch surfaces
Wearing facemasks for everyone, except during dining
Residents, team members and visitors are encouraged to maintain a social distance to the extent possible
Monitoring residents’ health and rapid identification/response to signs of illness
Encouraging/educating residents and team members on the importance of self-reporting any signs of illness and possible exposure to a positive or suspected COVID-19 case

The Chesapeake’s leadership team encourages personal protective measures, including, but not limited to:

Wear facemasks except during dining
Frequent handwashing
Avoid touching your face
Stay home and report to a community team member if you experience any signs of illness, even mild
