As shocking reports of new clusters surface, lawmakers are demanding answers and advocates for the elderly are pleading for action to halt a rising death toll they called 'absolutely devastating.'

Nursing home officials, like Mutty Scheinbaum, who owns the 500-bed facility in Andover, have described what they say are"heroic" unseen efforts going on inside the homes to try and prevent loss of life. They"have been working relentlessly to contain the virus and safeguard our residents and staff," Scheinbaum said in a statement.

"Our full focus must be on mitigating the spread of the virus and minimizing the impact of all who remain, in this case at the Andover facility, as well as all of our other longterm care facilities," Murphy said. Medical workers put on masks and personal protective equipment while preparing to transport a deceased body at Andover Subacute and Rehabilitation Center on April 16, 2020 in Andover, N.J.

And Sens. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., and Bob Casey, D-Pa., wrote to Verma to ask why the administration"refuses to publicly disclose the names of nursing homes with cases of COVID-19. Not only is this information important for families, workers, first responders and community members, it is critical for public health experts so they can direct resources and help these facilities slow the spread of this terrible virus.

"I think we recognize that there should be some more reporting so we are currently engaged with the CDC around efforts to increase reporting of outbreaks specifically of COVID," Verma said on a conference call this week."We want to make sure that we all have real time information about the status of COVID virus and nursing home."
