Four additional long-term centers have been added to the list of facilities that are seeing outbreaks of coronavirus among staff and residents.

The Division of Public Health has stepped up efforts to deal with outbreaks that will include the use of Veterans Administration nurses and a medical director.

Delaware has seen a sharp increase in coronavirus cases that make their way into what are known as congregate settings that include prisons and nursing homes.

After having virtually no cases, the Department of Correction reported 18 testing positive  at the James Vaughn Correctional Center near Smyrna.

The following long-term care facilities have experienced significant ongoing outbreaks since late September. Resident and staff tallies represent cumulative case totals between Sept. 25  and Nov. 12.
