A nursing home in Washington state has been so ravaged by COVID-19, the disease that derives from the novel coronavirus, that at least 70 employees are showing symptoms and have been asked to stay home from work until further notice, ABC News reports.
So bedeviled by the virus is Life Care Center in Kirkland that it’s effectively been deemed the “epicenter” of the virus in the United States.
The first COVID-19 case was reported at the facility on February 19. Since that time, 26 residents have died, with about half being attributed to the virus. Those deaths account for the lion’s share of coronavirus deaths in Washington, where 16 people have died.
What’s more, those 16 coronavirus deaths in Washington account for the overwhelming majority of all coronavirus deaths in the United States, where 19 people have died from the disease, as of this writing.
