At least 70 staffers at the nursing facility in Washington state that's become the epicenter of the U.S. coronavirus outbreak have shown symptoms and been asked to stay home. 'We cannot make any promises that further exposure in the center is not happening,' Tim Killian, a spokesperson
At least 70 staffers at the nursing facility in Washington state that's become the epicenter of the U.S. coronavirus outbreak have shown symptoms and been asked to stay home.
Killian called the facility's staffers"heroes," adding,"This is a larger issue than just our facility." In an earlier statement to ABC News, Life Care said employees were"making personal, one-on-one telephone calls with family members to share information about loved ones and respond to questions. Communication is vital in the caregiving process and for keeping families abreast of developments in dealing with the coronavirus."
A three-person CDC team had been on-site"intermittently" during the week, but they weren't made available to family members for questions. Connolly said the CDC's overall response there"wholly inadequate and laughable.""We're told they're quarantined, and then we're told it's not actually quarantine. They're just confined to their beds," Connolly said."Then we were told that actually they're free to get up and move.
