Family COVID Update
5.8.2020
Dear Residents & Families,


Thank you for your continued support in helping us safeguard your loved ones.

COVID-19 TESTING
As of today, we have no positive or suspected cases of COVID-19 in our Bainbridge Senior Living communities.

Our staff is continuing to implement best practices for cleaning and sanitizing our communities. We are actively monitoring residents and employees for symptoms or circumstances that seem to match those related to COVID-19.
  
COMMUNITY UPDATE
To beat COVID-19, we have to fully understand it. There are still many unanswered questions, but researchers from Cornell University released a study recently that uncovers why it is so contagious. The study’s authors say that SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19) combines the deadliness of the first SARS virus that emerged in China in 2003 with the contagiousness of HCoV-HKU1, a highly contagious human coronavirus strain that causes very few symptoms at all.
A study released today (May 8 th ) by the CDC confirmed that older adults and persons with underlying medical conditions are at higher risk for severe COVID-19. Among the patients hospitalized with COVID-19, 74% had conditions considered high-risk for severe COVID-19. Forty percent of patients were admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU), a likelihood which increased significantly with age group. Case fatality among patients aged 18–49 years, 50–64 years, and ≥65 years was 3.4%, 9.8%, and 35.6%, respectively.

Thank you once again for your seriousness and support as we do everything in our power to protect a vulnerable population.
With Gratitude,
Morgan Rohrbach 
President and CEO
