2020-04-16 5

Following an anonymous tip, 17 bodies were found in the small morgue of a New Jersey nursing home on Monday.
According to Business Insider, the 17 were among 68 recent deaths at Andover Subacute Rehab I and II.
26 of the deaths, including two nurses, were confirmed cases of COVID-19.
The federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services have given Subacute Rehab II the lowest possible rating.
That indicates that the nursing home had staffing and health inspection issues that began before the pandemic.
