ATHOL — Quabbin Valley Healthcare reports its COVID-19 numbers daily on its website. Last week, it reported three deaths from the virus, and by midweek this week was reporting eight casualties.
It currently has 27 residents who have tested positive and 19 staff members. Seventeen residents and 26 staff members have recovered from the virus.
“We’re testing everyone every 48 hours now,” said Assistant Administrator Michael Kachadoorian. He said the nursing home on Daniel Shays Highway still has enough employees to cover all shifts and recently called the National Guard in to help.
