In Florida, thesays it plans to sue the state to get the names of elder-care facilities with coronavirus cases."Anyone with a relative in an elder-care facility has a right to know if their loved ones are at risk so they can make an informed decision about their care," said Herald publisher Aminda Marqués González.
Dr. Laurie Forlano, Deputy Commissioner for Population Health at the Virginia Department of Health, detailed a recent outbreak in a long-term care facility during a press briefing Monday but was careful not to name the specific location."Staffing continues to be an issue, and that was true here as well," Forlano said.
Dr. Danny Avula, Director of Richmond City and Henrico County Health Districts, confirmed during a press conference Tuesday that 15 long-term care facilities across the two jurisdictions have confirmed COVID-19 cases. That includes the Canterbury Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center in Henrico County, where"This is a disease that spreads at high rates in an elderly, vulnerable population," Avula said.
Avula said while the state continues to prioritize testing individuals experiencing coronavirus symptoms, he said tests are being made available to asymptomatic residents of long-term care facilities.

Why aren't these sick patients being taken to hospitals?
Btw, Virginia is right next to Washington DC. May the winds blow your way.
