CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) - Thirteen residents at the Cedars Healthcare Center (CHC) in Charlottesville have so far died in connection with the coronavirus. Additionally, 16 others have been hospitalized.

“We treat these fatalities as very tragic events. Our residents are not statistics to us: They are names, faces, habits, they’re people we interact with on a daily basis, and we grieve their loss,” spokesperson Fred Stratmann said.
Strattman says all of the fatalities and hospitalizations are residents of the Cedars Healthcare Center.
According to the Virginia Long-Term Care Task Force, CHC reported a total of 85 cases Tuesday, July 28. The task force labels this as an outbreak in progress at Cedars Healthcare Center.
