MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A suburban Minneapolis nursing home said 47 residents have died from complications of COVID-19, the most at any long-term care facility in Minnesota.
St. Therese of New Hope also said 130 residents have tested positive for the coronavirus, while 65 staff members have shown symptoms or been exposed.
A review of death records by KARE-TV found North Ridge Health and Rehabilitation, also in New Hope, had the second-highest total of fatalities at a long-term care facility in Minnesota with at least 13.
A veterans home in Massachusetts where 70 people have died is the deadliest known coronavirus outbreak at a long-term care facility in the U.S.
Most of Minnesota’s 343 deaths have been in nursing homes. The St. Therese death toll would amount to nearly 15% of the 271 that occurred in nursing homes, according to the Star Tribune’s analysis of death records.
St. Therese, which has a 258-bed capacity, said all of its residents have been tested. Of those who have tested positive, about a third were asymptomatic, living with a roommate and unknowingly spread the virus.
One positive of the coronavirus (at least from my son’s perspective) is he does not have to take the road test in GA for his license. As long as you have a permit for a year and no issues, you can get upgraded to a license online.
So not only does he not have to take the SATs, he does not take the road test. I told him those were right of passages and he is missing out lol.
