Infection control-something that facilities across the country struggle with- is critical in preventing the spread of this virus, said Arlene Germain with the Massachusetts Advocates for Nursing Home Reform

“We’re in a pandemic where it becomes even 100 times more serious and more needed. So, yes, the infection control is primary,” Germain said.
“Nursing home residents are really just so vulnerable to begin with that this is just decimating,” she said.
