2 dead, 20 hospitalized by respiratory virus outbreak at Va. retirement community
Dr. Benjamin Schwartz is the director of epidemiology at the Fairfax County Health Department. He says the county has seen similar outbreaks but they』re usually influenza in the winter.
「Our most important concern right now is ensuring the safety of other residents who are there,」 said Dr. Schwartz.
The outbreak has only been reported in the assisted living and skilled nursing facilities, but the retirement center』s management is still telling residents visitation is suspended until further notice, and no Garden Ridge residents, healthy or sick, should leave their respective neighborhoods.
Dr. Schwartz says the community is taking proper steps and thoroughly cleaning the facility while Inova Health and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention work to figure out what kind of a virus this is and how it is spreading.
「These panels have looked for several of the most common pathogens and they have been negative so far,」 said Dr. Schwartz.
