The charges, which include felony elder endangerment, follow a two-and-a-half-year investigation into the outbreak at the Silverado Senior Living Management facility, LA County District Attorney George Gascón said during a press briefing Tuesday. Prosecutors allege Silverado admitted a new resident on March 19, 2020, despite protocols at the time limiting outside visitors, including patients. The facility also allegedly failed to test the patient for COVID-19 or quarantine the patient for 14 days prior to admission, as required by health protocols, according to prosecutors. The new patient began showing COVID-19 symptoms a day after arrival and tested positive for the virus that evening, according to Gascón.

Jeff Frum, Silverado senior vice president and spokesman, told ABC News in a statement that it denies all charges.
