A resident at the Motion Picture and Television Fund in Woodland Hills retirement home has tested positive for the novel coronavirus, an official confirmed this week.

The infected resident is from the skilled nursing unit and has been at West Hills Hospital for several days, according to a statement from MPTF CEO Bob Beitcher.

“While he tested negative with our test kit, the West Hills Hospital test was positive,” the statement said. “Prior to being transferred to West Hills, this resident had been treated as if he were COVID-19 positive and staff took all recommended precautions.”

Two other residents are also showing symptoms of COVID-19 and have been transferred to an 18-bed isolation unit established over the past few weeks on campus where a “separate caregiving team will staff this unit and treat them in isolation,” according to Beitcher.

There are no family visitations currently allowed at the facility. All non-essential campus activities on campus are suspended.

Beitcher added that the facility’s residents have been sheltering in place for more than three weeks and the facility “has taken extraordinary measures to ensure the safety of its residents and staff.”

Entry on the campus is limited to essential workers, volunteers and vendors who supply deliveries, Beitcher said.

More than 120 institutional settings, including nursing homes, assisted-living facilities and skilled-nursing facilities, are under investigation for potential outbreaks, county public health officials said.

The Woodland Hills facility is home to more than 250 entertainment industry veterans.

“The staff is devastated obviously, but they know this, and I reminded them of it again this morning, they have been absolutely heroic in all aspects of their jobs, totally committed to mitigating the impact of COVID-19 and providing the best care to our residents,” Beitcher said in the statement. “Today, we all have to assume that everyone we come into contact with is COVID-19 asymptomatic or pre-symptomatic and treat the situation that way. For now, for us, for you, it’s all about containment.”
