Maryland nursing home hit with 'tragic' coronavirus outbreak, as 66 test positive, 11 hospitalized, governor says


Dozens of people have tested positive for coronavirus at a nursing home in the suburbs west of Baltimore, Maryland's governor announced late Saturday as the state's death toll from the virus has doubled.
Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan said the state has experienced a "tragic coronavirus outbreak" at Pleasant View Nursing Home in Mount Airy, about 30 miles west of downtown Baltimore.
"As we have been warning for weeks, older Marylanders and those with underlying health conditions are more vulnerable and at a significantly higher risk of contracting this disease," Hogan said in a statement.

A total of 66 Pleasant View residents have tested positive for COVID-19, with 11 currently hospitalized. Hogan said multiple state agencies are on the scene, working closing with the local health department and the facility to take "urgent steps" to protect additional residents and staff who may have been exposed to the virus.
“I want to thank all of the doctors, nurses and first responders all across our state who are working around the clock to respond to this pandemic," the governor said.
Officials also announced five more deaths as of Saturday night, doubling the state's coronavirus toll.

“It took nearly three weeks for the National Capital Region to go from 0 to 1,000 cases of COVID-19. It took three days for the region to go from 1,000 to 2,000 cases in Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia," Hogan said. "This is a rapidly evolving and escalating emergency, which is now surrounding the nation’s capital."
