Lynden Manor reports five residents have tested positive for coronavirus
Lynden Manor Assisted Living Residence said in a statement Tuesday that it has five residents that have tested positive for COVID 19, the new coronavirus.
No staff members had show symptoms or tested positive for the new coronavirus as of Tuesday, according to the statement.
Two residents who tested positive were already in hospice care at the facility when they tested positive for COVID-19, Lynden Manor reported.
“It is becoming more clear that many of those who have passed away from the virus around the nation and world are likely dying with the illness rather than from the illness,” Lynden Manor reported in the statement. “While all are included in the summaries of virus fatalities, it is likely that the virus may have been a contributing cause but not necessarily the primary cause in many of these losses.”
The first Lynden Manor resident to test positive was reported by the Whatcom County Health Department on March 22. Tuesday’s statement said that resident and another “are doing well and appear to be on their way to full recovery.”
