The AP (3/29) reports “Minnesota residents are worried about their elderly loved ones as the coronavirus outbreak spreads to nursing homes.” So far, “at least 17 people living in nine senior care facilities across the state have become infected with COVID-19.” Now, “public health officials are concerned that the virus already has spread to more facilities but has not been detected.” The piece says “adult children fear they won’t be able to touch their relatives again for weeks or months, or that their loved ones will die alone in locked-down facilities.”.
