‘It’s horrific’: coronavirus kills nearly 70 at Massachusetts veterans’ home
Deadliest known outbreak at a US long-term care facility leaves 68 veterans dead and dozens more sickened
Nearly 70 residents sickened with the coronavirus have died at a Massachusetts home for ageing veterans, as state and federal officials try to figure out what went wrong in the deadliest known outbreak at a long-term care facility in the US.
While the death toll at the state-run Holyoke Soldiers’ Home continues to climb, federal officials are investigating whether residents were denied proper medical care and the state’s top prosecutor is deciding whether to bring legal action.
