82 contract COVID-19 at Northern California nursing facility - SF Gate

(AP) — A skilled nursing facility in Capitola is reporting more than 80 cases of COVID-19 among its residents and staff.

Pacific Coast Manor administrators said in a statement posted on the nursing facility's website that they are testing all residents and staff with the help of state and local public health departments.

Going forward, officials will implement additional precautions, including screening staff and medical personnel before they enter the facility, quarantining all new admissions in an observation unit before they are moved to a standard room and designating a separate wings of the center for residents who may test positive for COVID-19, they said.
