The number of nursing home residents who have succumbed to the novel coronavirus in the United States has surpassed 10,000, a new survey of state data compiled by ABC News has found.
As the agency charged with monitoring nursing care, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid has issued several alerts throughout the pandemic, calling on nursing homes to restrict visitation and to comply with infection-control regulations. The agency’s administrator, Seema Verma, told ABC News in an interview Thursday that she believes the administration has had a"very strong response" to the crisis.
Verma pointed to guidance the administration has given to state and local officials to allocate resources directly to nursing homes. Seema Verma, administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, attends a briefing following a meeting of the coronavirus task force, in the Brady Press Briefing Room at the White House in Washington, April 7, 2020.
