WARREN Deaths of 23 people at one long-term care facility in Warren are one reason for the huge spike in COVID-19 deaths in Trumbull County in December, city Deputy Health Commissioner John May said.
“We did experience an overwhelming number of deaths in December. We had a couple outbreaks at several long-term care facilities,” he said. “There was an overwhelming spread in one particular facility. This facility had 23 deaths in the month of December alone.”
May did not identify the facility, nor did the Ohio Department of Health.
He added that the facility had one death in January so far.
May said the facility also did not report the deaths to the Warren Board of Health and is alleged to have not followed certain CDC guidelines regarding employees coming to work after testing positive for the virus.
