Washington State officials are investigating a potential outbreak of
coronavirus at a health facility that cares for elderly, vulnerable patients
, after two people at the facility were infected.
Two people at a LifeCare nursing facility in Kirkland, Washington, were
diagnosed with the virus, health officials there said Saturday. One is a
health-care worker in her 40s, and is in satisfactory condition at a local
hospital. The other is an female resident of the facility in her 70s, and is
in serious condition at the same hospital, local health authorities said.
In addition, more than 50 residents and staff at the facility have shown
symptoms of a respiratory illness, according to Jeff Duchin, health officer
for public health in Seattle and King County. Tests of the residents are
ongoing.
“We are very concerned about an outbreak in a setting where there are many
older people,” Duchin said on a call with reporters Saturday. “We’re
going to send a team into the facility tomorrow to do an assessment.” |
