VHCA-VCAL has received feedback from VDH regarding antigen testing. Since CDC has now published their antigen testing guidance for nursing homes, VDH is now deferring to those guidance documents which are linked on the VDH Long-Term Care Task Force webpage.

Based on the newest CDC antigen testing guidance, VDH plans to publish new antigen algorithms, which will not be specific to nursing homes, and a revision to the Nursing Home Reopening Guidance soon.
