New WHO Euro technical guidance on preventing and managing COVID-19 in Long-Term Care facilities

The WHO Regional Office for Europe has released new technical guidance on how to prevent and manage COVID-19 infections in long-term care services. The guidance identifies ten policy objectives together with proposed actions and examples from across the WHO European Region to inspire decision makers, policy makers and national or regional health authorities as they seek ways to prevent and manage the COVID-19 pandemic in long-term care services.
