Long-term care facilities have been the epicenter of COVID-19 infections and deaths. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”), nursing homes and other long-term care populations are at a high risk of being affected by COVID-19 due to their congregate nature and high risk population. The CDC reports that as of December 20, 2020, there were 471,953 nationwide cases of COVID-19 cases among long-term care residents, which resulted in 92,373 deaths from COVID-19. The total confirmed COVID-19 cases for long-term care facility employees during the same period of time was 402,956 nationwide, which resulted in 1,268 deaths from COVID-19. Hopefully, with the development and distribution of COVID-19 vaccines, there will be a significant decline in cases and deaths from COVID-19 in long-term care facilities.
