NY nursing homes report 1,700 additional coronavirus deaths

Al Jazeera  

The revised list shows that 22 nursing homes, largely in NYC and Long Island, have reported at least 40 deaths. New York state has reported more than 1,700 previously undisclosed COVID-19 deaths at nursing homes and adult care facilities as the state faces scrutiny over how it has protected vulnerable residents during the coronavirus pandemic. Parker Jewish Institute in Queens and Isabella Geriatric Center – one of New York City’s largest nursing homes, with 705 beds – have reported the highest number of deaths: 71 and 64, respectively. This hampered our ability to identify those who were infected and asymptomatic, despite our efforts to swiftly separate anyone who presented symptoms.” In many cases, the state’s new figures reveal many more deaths than previously reported at nursing homes: Isabella Geriatric Center had 13 COVID-19 deaths reported as of May 1, and now reports the deaths of 21 patients who were confirmed to have COVID-19 along with 43 deaths of residents presumed to have COVID-19. His administration has not responded to a request for information on the state’s current capacity to care for COVID-19 nursing home residents and whether nursing homes were informed.
