During an interview on 8/28/25 at 11:31 AM with the facility's Infection Preventionist (IP), the IP stated that he did not report the facility's current COVID-19 outbreak to CDPH. IP stated that if CDPH is not notified of an outbreak it will not be fully investigated to ensure all guidelines were followed which may create gaps in infection control procedures and cause the worsening of outbreak.During a concurrent interview and record review on 8/28/2025 at 2:40 PM with the administrator (ADM), the facility's P&P titled, Outbreak of Communicable Diseases dated 5/2024 was reviewed.The P&P indicated:1.

The ADM will be responsible for telephoning a report to the health department.
The ADM stated P&P indicated that he is the responsible party to report outbreaks to CDPH, but he did not inform CDPH about the COVID-19 outbreak.
Not reporting COVID-19 outbreak to CDPH put facility at risk of infection control not being properly followed and lead to further spread of COVID-19.
