What the US Government is Doing to Keep Nursing Homes COVID-Free
|
In late spring of 2021, the 142 nursing homes operated by the Good Samaritan Society hit a milestone that was unthinkable just four months earlier: Zero cases of COVID-19 across the whole company, from 900 at the peak of the pandemic.
The relief was short-lived though. In recent months, the case count has ticked up again. The company said it had pinpointed the cause of the uptick there and at other facilities: The cases increased in the same homes where unvaccinated staff were testing positive, seemingly carrying the virus into the home from the community.
Good Samaritan Society is an example of what has been happening at many nursing homes across the US, according to research. A forthcoming regulation that was announced last week by President Biden will hopefully help bring the case count back to zero in nursing homes across the country.
