Transcendients: 100 Days of COVID-19

DAY 82: SUZIE SCHULBERG

CEO and President, Arcadia Nursing Home, Honolulu, HI

Mass testing gives Suzie some peace of mind.

At this moment in the U.S., up to 40 percent of COVID- related deaths occur in nursing homes. Hawai‘i, too, has witnessed outbreaks of the virus in nursing homes. Experts suggest that routine, repeated testing of staff is the key to controlling COVID-19 in nursing homes, as asymptomatic spread from staff to residents likely introduces the virus into facilities.
