More than 44-hundred cases of COVID-19 have been confirmed in Maryland nursing homes with 471 deaths. That's according to the Maryland Department of Health which is basing the data on facility reports. The new information comes after Governor Larry Hogan request on Monday that health officials release coronavirus data from nursing homes, assisted living facilities and group home with ten or more residents. Only 22-percent of Maryland's COVID-19 cases have been reported in nursing homes but the facilities account for 50-percent of the deaths. The bulk of the cases are in Montgomery and Baltimore counties. FutureCare Lochearn in Baltimore City has 220 reported cases and qualifies as the most in the state.
