From my experience in some of these facilities in the last month and a half, it may start there, but that's not the reason for the bulk of the cases. Not isolating sick residents is the cause. Keeping them with roomates, keeping them in private rooms but leaving the door open and letting them out into the community areas near other residents, not practicing proper precautions and ppe when dealing with sick residents (not wearing gloves, gowns, etc when boxes of them are by every room). Most facilities are not like this, but some are, and the ones that are like that are getting hit hard.
