A nursing home in Prescott, Arizona, is under scrutiny after a months-long investigation by state health officials revealed that managers required staffers to work while visibly sick with COVID-19.
The Granite Creek Health and Rehabilitation Center was first discovered in July to have forced infected employees to carry out their shifts despite having positive COVID-19 tests and isolation orders.
Now, the facility s leadership could face a review by the state regulatory board that oversees nursing home administrators,
The Arizona Republic reported Wednesday.
According to the lengthy state health investigation, some staffers were found to be so ill they were sweating and weak but were still expected to stay on their shift.
