Over 1,000 dead from Rhode Island Nursing Homes, LTC facilites. Over 5,000 cases.

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 a vaccine to stop it.

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 553 new cases and 50 more deaths.

72% of deaths of individuals who live in congregate housing take place in their facilities – 28% occur in a hospital.

This tracks the week, new cases recorded since last date, and additional fatalities:
