“Families of those residents have been notified directly. The 5th floor will remain on droplet precautions and we are cohorting COVID positive residents into one unit (3rd floor), where we can intensify resources and minimize further exposures.”
“All residents continue to be confined to their rooms and are receiving tray meal service.”
“Unfortunately, there have been two more deaths since our last update. Our residents are like family, and we acknowledge the grief and sorrow that their family members are going through,” the care home stated.
