(OPEN):
NURSING-HOMES CONTINUE TO FACE CORONAVIRUS-OUTBREAKS--BOTH THROUGHOUT MARYLAND AND NATIONWIDE.
THAT'S WHY "A-A-R-P MARYLAND" IS CALLING FOR MORE ACTION FROM CONGRESS.
HANK GREENBERG IS THE GROUP'S STATE-DIRECTOR...
(GREENBERG):
"RESIDENTS AND STAFF, ALIKE, REMAIN IN
DANGER--AS 'COVID-19' CONTINUES TO SPREAD. HOWEVER, MARYLAND AND OTHER STATES
CAN'T FIGHT THIS BATTLE ALONE--WHICH IS WHY MEMBERS-OF-CONGRESS STILL MUST TAKE ACTION.
IN ALL NURSING-HOMES, THERE SHOULD BE REGULAR, ONGOING TESTING OF RESIDENTS AND STAFF, WITH PROMPT RESULTS; ADEQUATE
'PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT' THAT'S ALSO PROPERLY USED; AND DAILY, PUBLIC REPORTING OF CASES AND
DEATHS--AS WELL AS COMMUNICATION WITH FAMILIES ABOUT DISCHARGES AND TRANSFERS, AND
'VIRTUAL VISITATION', SO THAT FAMILIES CAN CONNECT WITH THEIR LOVED-ONES."
(CLOSE):
"A-A-R-P" ALSO HAS ONLINE RESOURCES TO HELP
FAMILIES--AT "A-A-R-P"-DOT-ORG-SLASH-"NURSING-HOMES".
