Characteristics of nursing homes associated with COVID-19 outbreaks and mortality among residents in Victoria, Australia
Joseph E. Ibrahim et al.
Summary: The study found that COVID-19 outbreaks were more likely to occur in larger metropolitan nursing homes owned by large chains with a history of regulatory non-compliance and located close to high-risk industries. Larger outbreaks were associated with nursing homes in metropolitan areas accommodating 91 or more residents with shared rooms, owned by private providers operating many facilities. The highest case-fatality rates were observed in homes owned by not-for-profit providers operating multiple facilities and located near high-risk industries.
