”Three more residents of a Washington State nursing care facility have died from coronavirus, officials announced on Monday, bringing to five the death toll in the United States and intensifying the crisis in this state, where the nursing facility in Kirkland has become a focus of illness and fear.
All of the deaths in the country have occurred in Washington State, and leaders in the Seattle area said on Monday that they intended to open isolation centers in an effort to contain an emerging coronavirus outbreak. Four people who had been residents of the nursing center have died, and four other residents of the center as well as a worker there have learned they have the virus.”
