Deaths in US nursing homes fall sharply
US nursing homes, once the deadliest COVID-19 sites in the US, have experienced a significant fall in cases and deaths since December in a trend largely attributed to the rollout of millions of vaccine doses, federal government figures show. The weekly rate of COVID-19 cases at nursing homes fell 89 percent between early December and the second week of February, the US Health and Human Services Department said. By comparison, the nationwide case rate fell 58 percent and remains higher than figures reported before late October. Nursing home cases are at the lowest level since the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services in May began requiring the country's more than 15,500 facilities to report cases each week. The 3,505 new cases reported in the second week of February are nearly half as many recorded the week before and just one-tenth as many counted in one December week, the highest of the pandemic, the figures show. More than 170,000 US citizens have died in nursing homes and ... » Learn More about Deaths in US nursing homes fall sharply
