WINDSOR A COVID-19 outbreak at the Cedar Hill Continuing Care Community included 23 people as of Monday morning, an uptick of a couple of cases in the past week, according to an administrator.
The outbreak, which has left two residents of the Judith Brogren Memory Care Center dead, is primarily concentrated in the memory care center where 13 residents and six employees have been infected, said Kristi White, executive director of The Village at Cedar Hill Continuing Care Community, the independent and assisted living residences at the Windsor facility.
In addition to the deaths, two memory care residents were hospitalized at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center last week and another was undergoing rehabilitation at Mt. Ascutney Hospital and Health Center in Windsor, White said.

Elaine Perrault, 83, of Claremont, N.H., takes a cigarette break outside the Earl M. Bourdon Centre where Perrault has lived for the past eight years. Perrault tested negative for the COVID-19 virus last week and is due to be tested again next week. Twenty-one residents and 5 staff have the virus. Residents have been told by intercom to stay in their apartments and communal activities have been cancelled. It s eerie, Perrault said of the empty halls.
