NH/ACF Weekly Staff Testing Survey (Week 48)

DOH has finalized the Week 48 NH/ACF Staff Testing Survey.  There are no substantive changes to the survey questions for this week. A clarification was made to Question 9c to indicate that the question does not refer to BinaxNOW Antigen Tests.

The Week 48 survey was released (via IHAN alert through HCS) today, 4/14 at 9am.  As always, the survey will close promptly Thursday, 4/15 at 5pm.

All facilities will still receive the normal IHAN alerts:

1. Wednesday, April 14, 2021: 9am message with link to the survey; and
2. Thursday, April 15, 2021: 12pm reminder that survey will close at 5pm.

Please be reminded:

1. If you do not complete the survey, you will not receive Test Kits or PPE from NYS for the upcoming testing period.
2. If you do not receive a confirmation email, then the system did not log your survey submission.
   1. Most respondents who do not receive confirmation emails have misspelled their email address in the survey.
   2. If resubmitting, refresh the webpage and re-enter the survey information.
   3. If problems persist, email DOH ASAP.

If you have any questions, our team stands ready to help.  Please email either covidadultcareinfo@health.ny.gov or covidnursinghomeinfo@health.ny.gov as soon as a question or an issue appears, so that they can troubleshoot the problem. Tests that need to be returned should be mailed to:
