Cases of COVID-19 are increasing through the region, and local nursing homes are showing an impact.

A notice on the Elk Haven Nursing Home website Wednesday from administrator Arlene Anderson reported 46 active cases among residents, with a cumulative total of 52 cases. She said there have been no residents with a new onset of symptoms within 72 hours.

Seven staff members at the facility have active cases of COVID-19, with a cumulative total of 23. Two staff members have had a new onset of symptoms in the past 72 hours, the notice read.

“As our nation, commonwealth and local community continue to weather the coronavirus pandemic, we believe it is extremely important that accurate communication occur,” Anderson’s notice read. “We are doing what we can to limit the spread of COVID-19 within the facility.

“We are taking steps based on guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the local Health Department and Emergency Management Agencies to reduce the spread and impact of COVID-19.”

The steps she noted included enhancing infection control precautions, screening for symptoms, restricting visitation and entry into the building, testing staff and residents and postponing communal activities.
