Half Of Virginia's Coronavirus Outbreaks Are In Long-Term Care Facilities

In Florida, thesays it plans to sue the state to get the names of elder-care facilities with coronavirus cases."Anyone with a relative in an elder-care facility has a right to know if their loved ones are at risk so they can make an informed decision about their care," said Herald publisher Aminda Marqués González.

Dr. Laurie Forlano, Deputy Commissioner for Population Health at the Virginia Department of Health, detailed a recent outbreak in a long-term care facility during a press briefing Monday but was careful not to name the specific location."Staffing continues to be an issue, and that was true here as well," Forlano said.

Dr. Danny Avula, Director of Richmond City and Henrico County Health Districts, confirmed during a press conference Tuesday that 15 long-term care facilities across the two jurisdictions have confirmed COVID-19 cases. That includes the Canterbury Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center in Henrico County, where"This is a disease that spreads at high rates in an elderly, vulnerable population," Avula said.

Avula said while the state continues to prioritize testing individuals experiencing coronavirus symptoms, he said tests are being made available to asymptomatic residents of long-term care facilities.

On Sunday I witnessed unmasked staff having direct contact with my grandmother during a video chat at her assisted living facility, Morningside of Bellgrade in Midlothian Virginia. The next day a resident and team member tested positive for Covid 19.

Why aren't these sick patients being taken to hospitals?

Btw, Virginia is right next to Washington DC. May the winds blow your way.

So that’s okay, mr. President? They’re just old people who wouldn’t vote for you anyway.

RTDNEWS should sue Virginia to get the names of ALL of the facilities!

Duh

It is sad, but you must open the economy with young healthy employees. NOW

Sad we don't have extended families as we used to.

They have the same problem with MRSA. High death rate for awhile.

It is too bad since it is the definition of shelter In place

Augusta, GA is having a significant increase in cases at nursing homes.

Of course they are. A strong wind would have done them in.

So sad

Coronavirus is new front in the war between L.A. County's sheriff and supervisorsCoronavirus outbreak or no, L.A. County sheriff and supervisors continue long-standing quarrel The LA County Sheriff is an idiot. Someone needs to tell me how constant conflict between the Sheriff and LA County Supervisors benefits the citizens of LA County. To the the dumb asses who elected this guy as Sheriff, this is what you get for electing unqualified candidates. All I know is Padilla shouldn't be in charge of anything. It’s obvious Villanueva is incompetent and needs to be relieved of his position. He seems not at all interested in doing his job and 100% committed to CYA actions.
