The residents had been awaiting test results after two women in their 50s who live at the nursing home contracted the virus.

90% of the people in the country contracting the virus are in nursing homes hopefully someone’s investigating that.
How these people got infected is from a grandkid that went on spring break to Florida and then came back to visit. Idiot didn't care who she was going to kill, had to Party on the beach.
