Huntington COVID outbreak leads to four deaths

WATERLOO — After going more than eight months without a resident testing positive for COVID-19, Huntington Living Center is in the midst of an outbreak that has seen 72 residents infected, including four deaths.
“We are heartbroken that after eight and a half months of working so hard to ensure our facilities were not impacted, as so many facilities have been, the increase in community positivity rates has now translated into increased cases in long-term care,” said Lara Turbide, vice president of community services for Finger Lakes Health, which includes Huntington. “We are deeply saddened about the loss of beloved residents.”
The first positive case for a resident was Nov. 4, about a week after an asymptomatic staff member tested positive. Turbide added that staff in all FL Health long-term care facilities are tested twice weekly, although the state Department of Health only requires one weekly test.
