Covid-19 and Nursing Facilities: What to do?

California names nursing homes with COVID-19 infections and over half are in LA County

Across the nation, nursing homes and rehabilitation centers are being ravished by the Coronavirus. Out of the 1224 skilled nursing facilities located in California approximately 85% of them have reported more than 20 cases of Covid-19. 

According to the CDC 8 out of 10 deaths from Covid-19 have been in adults 65 years of age and older. With this sickness being so, so dangerous to older adults and senior citizens, now is the time to stay as far away from facilities as possible.
