How about a report from the other senior care facilities in town? Why are we not hearing if there are any cases at SilverSage, Kruse, Focused Care, High Hope or Argent Court?
Why are the results from testing not being reported to the public?
I think it’s because they report directly to the person who got tested and the majority of those tested have been negative.
