Read full article: Michigan requires tests, says 32% of deaths from nursing homesWe are not in a position to vouch for data from other states, but such a figure is generally consistent with the figures we have seen elsewhere, said Gordon, who announced penalties for nursing homes that do not comply with reporting requirements. Michigan on Monday reported 74 additional coronavirus cases overall and just two more deaths, bringing the respective totals to roughly 66,000 and 6,000. Regional hubs, designated to care for long-term care residents affected by the virus, account for 200 or 10% of resident deaths. The health department said it did not know how many of the dead had been permanent residents of nursing homes vs. new residents who had been discharged to the homes to recover after being hospitalized. Michigans tally of nursing home deaths does not include people in homes for the aged, adult foster care facilities and assisted-living facilities.
