RIVERSIDE (CNS) - Teams consisting of paramedics, nurses and other health care professionals began making the rounds today in Riverside County to provide support, distribute protective gear and keep workers at skilled nursing facilities on the job and safe during the coronavirus emergency.
According to the Riverside University Health System, four Skilled Nursing Facilities Outreach Support -- SOS -- teams have been formed to address needs in the central, eastern, northwest and southwest county regions.
The units are being deployed with the goal of preventing a repeat of last week's evacuation of a Riverside patient facility, where the majority of staff failed to report for shifts, evidently due to concerns about the spread of coronavirus.
