BENNINGTON — A second resident of the Vermont Veterans’ Home has tested positive for COVID-19 and is hospitalized at Southwestern Vermont Medical Center.
Melissa Jackson, the facility’s CEO, said Friday the infection was confirmed through a standard PCR test this week. She said she could not provide a report on the veteran’s condition because of patient privacy restrictions.
Jackson had announced on Wednesday that another resident who was diagnosed with the disease in early January had died. That infection was revealed through regular testing after a half dozen staff members at the Veterans Home tested positive for COVID-19 in late December and two more tested positive shortly afterward.
