Of the 62 residents, 10 have died. The news comes as nursing homes across the country report an increase in cases.
The outbreak at the privately owned Andbe Home in Norton County has forced 51 of the surviving residents into quarantine at the facility. One remaining resident has been hospitalized. An unspecified number of staff has also tested positive, the Norton County Health Department said in a release.
The announcement comes amid a rise in COVID-19 cases across the state in recent weeks. As of Monday, 72,968 people have tested positive for the virus in Kansas and 872 have died. Both numbers are roughly double what the stateCarla Gillespie visits her mother, Evelyn Solberg, at the Jones-Harrison Residence in Minneapolis on Oct. 12. It was the first time they had been allowed to see each other since March, and the policy change came as COVID-19 cases again begin to rise across the U.S.
Nationwide, COVID-19 cases have also risen in the general population and in nursing homes.
“The number one factor in keeping COVID out of our nursing homes, so we can protect our vulnerable population, is reducing the level of the virus in the surrounding community,” said Mark Parkinson, president and CEO of AHCA/NCAL, in a statement.
