Investigation Summary
An employee was working at a nursing care or skilled nursing facility. The employer's human resources office stated that the employee was not a regular employee and that her last day of work was March 14, 2020. The employee was not working at the time she was thought to have contracted COVID-19. Instead, she was visiting and taking care of her father in a convalescent home. On May 1, 2020, she was diagnosed with COVID-19. She was hospitalized from May 1, 2020, thru May 16, 2020. The company was informed that she had died on May 16, 2020. The firm did not consider the death a job-related fatality. According to the firm's facility administrator, the facility did not have a resident with a confirmed case of COVID-19 until April 8, 2020. Over the next six weeks, 32 residents and eight staff employee members out of 99 employees in the facility were diagnosed as COVID-19-positive.
