Members of the Colorado National Guard are being deployed to Valley View skilled nursing community care in Cañon City to help staff in the middle of a COVID-19 outbreak. More than 30 percent of staff members at Valley View have tested positive for the virus, leaving them unable to work taking care of residents.
As of Dec. 30, the Colorado National Guard deployed six soldiers who will work in non-clinical jobs such as administrative, housekeeping, laundry and dietary support for the next week “to provide an extra set of hands”.
