I realized I hadn’t updated the nursing home info for a while, and found a more recent report from the State, so that page has been updated. This evening, I heard from a friend/follower. Her Mom’s LTC facility, Warde Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in Windham, has had a staff member diagnosed with COVID-19.  I expect that will be reported soon.
