Indiana is sending coronavirus reinforcements to nursing homes. Starting in November, National Guard troops will help out with data entry and administrative tasks so regular staff have more breathing room to tend to residents. Governor Holcomb says the Guard will begin with facilities which have already had coronavirus cases, but will eventually help with all the facilities statewide. Holcomb says they’ll supply help at least through the end of the year. The Indiana State Department of Health has nearly completed a three-week inspection tour of all the state’s nearly 600 nursing homes.
