SARAH MANSUR SPRINGFIELD — Infection control efforts at the LaSalle Veterans Home have curbed the spread of the coronavirus since a deadly outbreak began at the facility last month, according to officials who testified Wednesday before a House committee investigating the matter. That outbreak has caused at least 33 resident deaths, the latest of which was reported early last week. The House committee on Wednesday heard testimony from Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs officials, including Director Linda Chapa LaVia, Chief of Staff Anthony Kolbeck, Illinois Department of Public Health medical consultant Dr. Avery Hart, and interim LaSalle Administrator Anthony Vaughn. Despite that progress in containing transmission, several lawmakers on the committee raised concerns to IDVA officials the about the state’s response from when the initial outbreak was reported on Nov. 1 to the first on-site visit by an official with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs
