At least 5,800 residents in facilities for the disabled in the U.S. have contracted COVID-19, and more than 680 have died, the Associated Press found.

While Ludeman was not cited specifically in the infection-control category, inspectors noted that staff didn’t always encourage practices like proper hand-washing.
