(The Center Square) – The Illinois House Veterans’ Affairs Committee will meet Tuesday to provide more oversight into the COVID-19 outbreak at the LaSalle Veterans’ Home last month that killed at least 33 residents.
Gov. J.B. Pritzker said Friday that lessons have been learned and that he “bears responsibility.”
The outbreak started in early November and spread in the following days, infecting scores of residents and staff. It took at least 10 days for the state’s inspectors to visit the site.
The last public hearing on the issue was held virtually by the Illinois Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee before Thanksgiving. A report released before the hearing highlighted poor ventilation and ineffective hand sanitizer, among other issues.
