New Jersey officials have begun identifying all of the state’s long-term care facilities and detailing coronavirus cases and deaths that have occurred in them after weeks of pressure from families desperate to know if the outbreak has reached their loved ones’ residence.
State data also shows 100 facilities have reported no Covid-related deaths, although every facility has reported at least one positive case. Between last Thursday and Sunday, Persichilli said, 21 facilities have been inspected with additional inspections planned for this week. “It's important that patients and their families have the information that they need, and they need to understand what's going on in the nursing home,” Verma said at Sunday evening‘s White House briefing.
Milly Silva, executive vice president of 1199SEIU United Healthcare Workers East, which represents health care workers, said in a statement that much of the fault for the rapid spread of coronavirus in LTCs across the state lies not with workers, but rather with some facility operators.
