SPRINGFIELD, Ill.- Lawmakers have consistently asked for accountability from the Department of Veteran Affairs since the COVID-19 outbreak started at the LaSalle Veterans’ home. IDVA officials said they have finally turned things around to make sure more veterans don’t die from the virus. The department reported there are currently no positive cases of COVID at any of the four facilities across the state. Tony Kolbeck, Chief of Staff for IDVA, explained the homes will change testing for residents and staff due to the decrease in cases. “IDVA has taken the position that the minimum testing we will conduct is to PCR test staff weekly and all residents bi-weekly,” said Kolbeck. “Additionally, any staff or resident who becomes symptomatic will be antigen tested and PCR tested.”
