Signature HealthCare said in a press release that Morgantown Care & Rehabilitation Center has 29 residents and 22 employees who have tested positive for the virus.
"Officials said all 29 residents stricken are 'asymptomatic' or have 'mild' cases of the virus," and all are being treated at the facility, in a separate wing, WBKO-TV in Bowling Green reports.
Signature also owns Summit Manor in Columbia, where 29 residents and four employees were found to have the virus Thursday.
The company said the Morgantown facility “was fortunate enough to obtain enough of the highly sought after and reliable covid-19 tests, and out of an abundance of caution for the protection of our residents, staff and community at large, (that a decision was made) to test the entire facility.”
"Butler County Judge-Executive Tim Flener announced the news in a Facebook post Sunday, identifying the facility as the community’s nursing home," the Bowling Green Daily News reports.
The company said any employees who tested positive would not be allowed to return to work "without special and verified medical clearance," and residents whose cases become more severe will be transferred to hospitals as directed by their physicians.
