Many long-care health facilities will be getting a helping hand from the Indiana National Guard starting Monday.
More than 100 of the state’s hardest-hit long term care centers will get help with testing, keeping up with PPE, and monitoring infectious control practices.
Before arriving, all guardsmen will be tested for COVID-19, and be tested regularly.
The health department says one-third of Vanderburgh County COVID deaths are related to long term care facilities. VCHD’s Lynn Herr says a majority of long term care spread has been traced back to employees.
