A survey from the WSJ
has found at least 10,700 COVID-related deaths at long-term care
facilities among more than 35 states that either report data online or
responded to requests for information.
That’s almost a quarter of all U.S. deaths, with the virus hitting at least 4,800 facilities nationwide.
Currently, the federal Centers for Medicare and
Medicaid Services requires nursing homes to tightly restrict who can
enter, though limited testing and asymptomatic cases means staffers
could have brought infections inside.
