A San Andreas Nursing Home is Experiencing a Rise in COVID-19 Cases
A nursing home in San Andreas, California is experiencing an increase in COVID-19 cases. Nursing homes can be a hot spot for infection as the residents are all at increased risk for the virus and live in a facility with several other people. Calaveras and Tuolumne Counties have had relatively low cases of COVID-19, though long term care facilities for the elderly remain a huge risk for infection. Governor Newsom is rolling out a new monitoring system in the coming days to place counties in the state under increased or reduced restrictions based on daily cases per 100,000 people testing positive. -
