FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO): If the coronavirus is found at an Allen County nursing home or assisted living facility, you may never know.
Health officials announced during a teleconference with the media yesterday that they’re leaving it entirely up to the operators of those facilities on whether or not to reveal any COVID-19 cases.
Our Partners in News at ABC 21 report getting reports from people who claim to have loved ones at facilities with cases, but that info is not being confirmed by local or state officials.
The Life Care Center of Fort Wayne announced last week that one resident and one staffer had tested positive for the contagious disease.

The way this is written it seems as though officials are giving nursing homes the right 2 not report it to the board of health either and if that’s the case that goes against Indiana law. This is ridiculous. We are in the middle of a pandemic and everybody needs to do their part. What makes nursing homes so special that they should not have to report like everyone else?
