3 Stanwood care home residents test positive for COVID-19
STANWOOD A total of three cases of COVID-19 have been confirmed at a Stanwood nursing home, the Snohomish Health District announced at a Tuesday morning press conference.
One woman in her 70s, a resident of Josephine Caring Community, was confirmed positive for the illness late Sunday. At the time she was tested, she was being treated at a local hospital, according to the health district.
Health officials collected samples from seven patients and two staff members at Josephine, and two of those tests came back positive, said Dr. Christopher Spitters, interim health officer for the Snohomish Health District.
The new positive tests came from a woman in her 90s and a man in his 80s, both of whom were taken to a local hospital.
Five more tests from the care center were still pending as of Tuesday, Spitters said.
