FLORENCE, Ore. -- Some community members in Florence are stunned after Lane County Public Health reported a major COVID-19 outbreak at Spruce Point Assisted Living and Memory Care.
19 residents and 6 staff members have tested positive for the virus, according to a spokesperson for Lane County Public Health.
"If you work in a place where you take care of elderly people and you're not vaccinated, somebody's dropping the ball somewhere," Donnie Attleberger who frequently visits his father at the facility said.
