Sullivan County Health Care on Friday said seven residents have tested positive and are in the Stearns 3 section of the nursing home at the county complex in Unity.
“We had required the use of N95 masks, including surgical masks, gowns and goggles or face shields to enter Stearns 3, and (are) providing resident care precautions on all floors,” nursing home Administrator Ted Purdy said in a letter to relatives of residents.
The positive cases among residents come after at least eight workers at the nursing home had tested positive. Staff and residents began receiving COVID-19 vaccinations this week. The county nursing home has 117 residents and 107 staff members.
