California's new guidelines come as other states are pushing for mass testing in nursing homes.
A key architect of the nation’s first coronavirus stay-at-home order says California’s fast pace of lifting restrictions “poses a very serious risk.”The testing directive comes as officials are demanding health agencies do more to reduce the crisis in nursing homes.
“What’s been most frustrating for me is that time and time again, when we listen to the death count that this horrible virus has caused, all roads lead back to our skilled nursing facilities,” said Supervisor Kathryn Barger before the vote. As outbreaks multiplied, it became clear that at least some were being sparked by staff — who could pick up the virus at home, on the bus, or at one of the other nursing homes where they worked. So facilities started testing symptomatic employees as well.
