New COVID-19 cases plummet at Louisiana’s nursing homes

Associated Press  

— Louisiana’s nursing homes, once the deadly epicenters of the state’s coronavirus outbreak, have seen new cases of COVID-19 plummet at their facilities this year as most of the facilities’ residents have gotten vaccinated. It’s the seventh week in which Louisiana’s approximately 275 nursing homes reported fewer than 30 new cases, according to state data. Inside the facilities, the change from a year ago is palpable and “closer to normal,” said Lisa Gardner, an executive with CommCare, which operates a dozen nursing homes across Louisiana. Hassig said nursing homes remain vulnerable from employees and others who may contract the virus elsewhere and unknowingly spread it to residents.
