Number of infected Windsor Vallejo residents increases by 16; infected healthcare workers now at 11

On April 20, we reported that the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) released a “snapshot” listing of all known skilled nursing facilities reporting COVID-19 among staff or residents.  At that time, the list did not include any facilities in Solano County at that time.

On April 24, the State’s report showed one of nine nursing homes in Solano County that was dealing with the infection: the Windsor Vallejo Nursing and Rehabilitation Center where 18 residents and less than 11 staff tested positive.

Windsor Vallejo’s website does an excellent job of sharing extensive information about coronavirus, and includes an easy way for families to schedule Virtual Visits, but does not disclose numbers of positive or active cases.  It leaves unanswered whether any of Solano County’s reported deaths took anyone at their facility.
