Part 2: Illinois Nursing Homes with High COVID-19 Case Numbers

(Facilities M thru Z)

Not only are elderly groups at a high risk of being infected by — and dying from — the coronavirus, many people linked to nursing homes also die at a higher rate than the general population. At least 152,000 coronavirus deaths have been reported among residents and employees of nursing homes and other long-term care facilities for older adults in the United States since the pandemic began in February 2020. The virus has now infected more than 1,234,000 people at some 31,000 facilities nationwide. And the total number of laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 infections among Illinois residents in all long-term care facilities, not just outbreaks, is 73,286 cases and 9,571 deaths.
