At the Dulles Health and Rehab Center in Herndon, the COVID-19 situation appears to have taken a turn for the better.
As of earlier this week, the nursing center announced that it is now free of COVID-19. At the center, 66 residents and 20 staff members recovered from the virus.
Recent data by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shed new light on the impact of COVID-19 on long-term care facilities.
Overall, nursing homes in Northern Virginia have had 903 cases of COVID-19, according to the newly released data, which provides the first comprehensive look at individual nursing homes. Several facilities have 10 deaths each.
Long-term care facilities have been hit hard by the spread of the novel coronavirus. In late April, 11 patients died from coronavirus-related complications.
The first positive case was reported on March 28.
The 166-bed facility celebrated on Tuesday, June 16, by surprising residents with banana splits and ice cream sundaes.
