Tragedy In Nursing Homes: Consequence Of Failed Testing, Shortage Of Protective Gear For Workers

Nationally, at least 400 long-term care facilities have at least one resident infected, but Politico reports that's likely an undercount for an industry that has a tough time getting equipment and is slow to respond to change. Just last week, CMS recommended nursing homes separate those with Covid-19 from those who don’t have the infection, but without adequate testing that proves difficult to do. Nursing home news is from Massachusetts, Florida, Rhode Island, Washington, Texas and Georgia, as well.
