60% of Ohio coronavirus deaths have occurred in long-term care facilities
As the federal government urges governors to conduct coronavirus testing on all residents in nursing homes and congregate care, new data from the Ohio Department of Health shows that three out of five coronavirus deaths statewide have come from such long-term care facilities.
Before April 15 -- when the state health department began compiling data on cases and deaths in nursing homes, assisted-living facilities and other skilled nursing facilities -- there were 369 confirmed or probable deaths attributed to those facilities.
Including the deaths the health department has reported since April 15, health department spokeswoman Melanie Amato said there have been 1,031 deaths in long-term care facilities, which comprise 59.9% of Ohio’s 1,720 coronavirus deathsas of Tuesday.
I wonder what the prison death toll is?
Indiana was around 45% care home total last time I looked. Jmo
