Coronavirus CT: 10 More Nursing Home Deaths

CONNECTICUT — There were ten new resident deaths, confirmed or suspected, and one more staff death attributed to COVID-19 at the state's nursing homes in the past week, according to the latest update released Friday by Gov. Ned Lamont.

An additional 47 residents have tested positive for the virus, and another 38 employees have been confirmed to have COVID-19.

In the state's assisted living facilities, another resident has died due to the virus, confirmed or suspected, and three new cases were confirmed. Among the staff, no new deaths were reported, but 22 more employees have tested positive for COVID-19.

Connecticut nursing homes are required by the Department of Health and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to report on the impact of COVID-19 on their residents and staff through the Center for Disease Control and Prevention's National Healthcare Safety Network. This reporting is intended to reflect recent COVID-19 activity in nursing homes.

"Today's weekly report once more demonstrates that Connecticut can keep COVID-19 down in nursing homes and assisted living communities by keeping COVID-19 down in our state," Mag Morelli, president of LeadingAge Connecticut; Matt Barrett, president and CEO the Connecticut Association of Health Care Facilities; and Christopher Carter, president of Connecticut Assisted Living Association, said in a news release. "The research is showing a strong connection between the prevalence of COVID-19 in the community and the incidence of the virus entering our congregate settings. Still, the pandemic is far from over and our state must remain vigilant and continue to work together as a community to keep pushing the COVID-19 case trajectory on a downward path and protect our older adults."

The following is a list of every nursing home in Connecticut with residents who have tested positive for COVID-19, along with corresponding data related to the number of residential cases and fatalities among residents in each facility.
