The number of coronavirus cases in Pennsylvania is plateauing overall, but the rate of infection continues to increase in state nursing homes.


"Nursing homes and other long-term care living facilities remain of significant concern to us," said Secretary of Health Dr. Rachel Levine.

As of Wednesday afternoon, there were 3,316 positive COVID-19 cases among residents in 297 long-term care facilities in Pennsylvania. Those facilities include both nursing homes and personal care homes.

I have relatives who work at nursing homes. Conditions are dire. Many of these nursing homes that are overrun are in rural areas.
