ceived reports of nearly 26,000 nursing home residents dy-
ing from COVID-19, according to materials prepared for
the nation’s governors. That number is partial and likely to
go higher.
A letter from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Ser-
vices and the Centers for Disease Control and Preven-
tion reports more than 60,000 cases of coronavirus illness
among nursing home residents. A copy of the letter to
governors and an accompanying chart were provided
to The Associated Press.

more than 34,400 getting sick and nearly 450 dying from
the coronavirus.

by the virus,” wrote CDC Director Robert Redfield and
