Monroe County Health Department Regulations
In June of 2021, the Monroe County Health Department issued updated Public Health Recommendations for Residential, Communal Living Facilities. These recommendations “are intended and meant to provide helpful and uniform health guidance for these facilities, to reduce the likelihood that these facilities will experience concentrations of COVID-19 such that closure would be required, to prevent conditions likely to contribute to the spread of COVID-19 in Monroe County, and to protect the general public and public health in Monroe County.”
The recommendations provide guidance pertaining to occupancy, shared living and dining facilities, food distribution, shared bathrooms, shared sleeping spaces, laundry facilities, guest policies, quarantine and isolation plans, and record-keeping.
Houses Directed to Quarantine
There are currently no houses directed to quarantine.
