ODP Announcement 21-048 is intended to supplement — not replace — any federal, state, or local public health and safety laws, rules, and regulations with which providers of the Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) home and community-based services must comply. Additionally, there may be instances where there are differences in CDC guidance from PA Department of Health (DOH) guidance. In these instances, PA DOH guidance should be followed as the lead agency of the COVID-19 response for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
All direct support professionals (DSPs) should follow risk mitigation recommendations, which include, but are not limited to, infection prevention strategies for universal masking, screening, and handwashing as outlined in the guidance included in this communication.
This announcement includes a chart outlining obsolete guidance and new guidance to be followed by service type, with links to the applicable documents.
ODP encourages any provider who has a question to reach out for clarification and support. The following resources can provide support as appropriate:
- Regional Congregate Care Assistance Teams (RCAT)
- PA DOH at 877-PA-HEALTH (877-724-3258)
