The Ocean County Health Department recognizes the challenges that care facilities face each day as they provide healthcare to our elderly in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. To help with these challenges, the OCHD has compiled current COVID standards, guidance and health education resources so that administrators and staff have current guidance in one place. Regulatory Guidance and Executive Directives remain the responsibility of the Executive Administrations.
