Two months after officials declared an end to the deadly adenovirus outbreak at the Wanaque Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation, the state has yet to lift its restrictions on new admissions, according to N.J.com website.
Department of Health officials told the facility the curbs will remain in place until new guidelines to prevent the spread of infection are approved.
They also proposed a $20,965 penalty be imposed in connection with infection control violations identified by the state.
The health department also wants to know how the facility will address the need to isolate young patients who become ill in the future, according to letters sent to Wanaque administrators.
