Ottawa County's nursing home in rare company with no COVID-19 case
SALEM TOWNSHIP - The spread of COVID-19 a year ago ravaged many nursing homes throughout the country — they were among the hardest hit by the novel coronavirus. But one facility in Ottawa County managed to evade the crisis almost entirely. The Riverview Healthcare Campus, a county-owned nursing home in Salem Township just east of Oak Harbor, has not had a single case of COVID-19 among its residents, which is quite a rarity, according to its administrator, Kendra German. “While we knew we were a rarity, we did not realize how much of a rarity we were,” she said in a news release.
