New Toolkit Details Ways to Control Group A Streptococcus in Long-Term Care Communities

CDC has released new tools to guide effective investigations into group A Streptococcus (GAS) infections in long-term care communities. Targeted to public health departments and long-term care communities, including skilled nursing and rehabilitation communities, the toolkit encourages an investigation into even a single case of invasive GAS infection. The toolkit also offers strategies to ramp up the response if additional cases occur.
