UNITY — COVID-19 cases at senior living facilities in the Upper Valley continue to climb.
An outbreak at Sullivan County Health Care in Unity has grown to include 20 people, according to Ted Purdy, the nursing home’s administrator. Since Jan. 5, 11 residents and nine workers have tested positive for the virus, Purdy said in an email. Additional testing of both residents and workers took place on Tuesday, he said.
Residents’ symptoms have ranged from none to coughs, nausea and elevated temperatures, Purdy said.
Four employees of Kendal at Hanover have recently tested positive for the virus, spokesman Jeff Roosevelt said in an email. Two Kendal employees also tested positive in September. So far, no residents at the facility off Lyme Road have tested positive, Roosevelt said.
