State confirms 7 deaths from coronavirus at St. John Parish veterans home

BY GORDON RUSSELL | STAFF WRITER APR 3, 2020 - 9:25 AM

At least seven residents of a state-run home for military veterans in St. John the Baptist Parish have died after testing positive for coronavirus, and at least 18 residents of the home have been infected so far, state officials confirmed late Thursday.

The cluster of deaths at the Southeast Louisiana Veterans Home in Reserve appears to be the second-deadliest outbreak of the coronavirus in a facility for Louisiana seniors. At Lambeth House in Uptown New Orleans, at least 53 residents have tested positive and 13 have died from the coronavirus.

God help all our vets in Homes and Hospitals.

They need our prayers now, more than ever. It is not just he old ones who are dying.

Lord, let not a single one of them die alone.
