1 in 4 Ohio nursing homes report December PPE shortages

Ashland Times Gazette Roughly 25% of Ohio nursing homes and long-term care facilities reported they had less than one week’s supply of personal protective equipment (PPE) during the deadliest month of the pandemic. Leaders in the field say at a time when nursing home residents and staff are vulnerable to COVID-19, these facilities get little support from the state to shore up supplies. Instead, nursing homes are left to try and buy what expensive PPE they can find in a global shortage.  Nearly half of Ohio’s COVID-19 deaths have occurred in long-term care facilities such as nursing homes, despite reported resident cases making up only 5% of the state’s cumulative COVID-19 cases and staff cases making up roughly 4% of cases.
