A rash of COVID-19 cases at a New Paltz nursing facility is raising questions since more than half of the infected were vaccinated.
The cases occurred at an upscale retirement and assisted living facility called Woodland Pond.
CEO Michelle Gramoglia says of the 15 positive cases discovered over the past week through routine testing, eight of them are fully vaccinated residents - and are among the most vulnerable in the community. One lives in our assisted living unit, then the seven others are in skilled nursing. It just means they are in the highest level of care, says Gramoglia.

NORWALK, Conn. The Norwalk Land Trust’s campaign to preserve 15 acres on the old White Barn Theater property has ended, with the sale of the land to a home-building developer.
Able Construction plans to move forward with the plan the late Jim Fieber obtained Zoning approval for in 2015, Planning and Zoning Director Steven Kleppin said. That would be a 15 home conservation development at 78 Cranbury Road and 440 Newtown Ave., adjacent to a 5-acre Land Trust preserve.
Fieber’s plan inspired outcry in 2015, with many protesting the proposed demolition of what was left of the late Broadway star Lucille Lortel’s White Barn Theater. Others said that it wasn’t really a conservation development given that Fieber was counting land under power lines, property that is under an easement and unlikely to be developed anyway. Eversource regularly poisons the land to prevent trees from growing, they said.
