ORLANDO, Fla. – Residents in long-term care and assisted living facilities are among the most at-risk for contracting COVID-19, which is why precautions have been taken across Florida to protect those populations.
Still, cases have popped up at these centers, affecting patients and workers alike. The Florida Department of Health initially wouldn’t provide information on facilities in which coronavirus had been detected, citing privacy concerns, but now it makes that data available.
On April 18, when the information was first released, there were 303 impacted locations across the state, 37 of which were in Central Florida.
