The Delaware Division of Public Health reported 247 residents of long-term care facilities in Delaware have died from complications of coronavirus (COVID-19)
it was reported last week that 228 residents of Delaware long-term care residents died from complications related to COVID-19.
The division reported 990 nursing home residents have tested positive for the virus. The state has not released figures on the number of staff members who have tested positive.
The state has stepped up testing for care centers, which account for nearly two-thirds of the state’s deaths from coronavirus.
The President of AARP in Delaware has called for the state to release more information on coronavirus cases.
The public health division reported that a review of data resulted in the Delaware Psychiatric Center being removed from the list of long-term care facilities with COVID-19 related cases and deaths.
DPC is an acute-care facility rather than a long-term care facility. Due to this change, the division removed three deaths from the total number of deaths among residents of long-term care facilities.
