Updated: COVID-19 in RI Nursing Homes, LTC facilites. We remember 1,100 lives lost.
In the last month and a half, the coronavirus has once more hit our nursing homes hard. We can expect that to continue, with only the hope of the vaccination program to stop it.
As Christmas approaches we remember the approximately 1,193 lives lost and the approx. 5,518 who have fought the battle of coronavirus.
It’s a population that’s not shopping, dining out, going to work, or socializing at homes in small groups. It’s where the priority isn’t mentioned often enough.
This week there are 523 new cases and 60 more deaths.
This tracks the week, new cases recorded since last date, and additional fatalities:
