Homes built before 1980 are at a higher risk of having been built with asbestos containing materials (ACMs) than those built after 1980. This is dangerous because exposure to asbestos greatly increases the chances of developing a health condition, such as mesothelioma cancer or asbestosis later in life.
Research from Yale University and the University of California, Los Angeles indicated having staff working at more than one nursing home is a major factor for transmission of COVID-19. Along with the U.S. Digital Response, they’ve translated research into a usable tool to explore staff connections: ProtectNursingHomes.org.
