Outside a nursing home hit hard by coronavirus, staffers find a nervous public

Staffers at a nursing home dubbed “ground zero” for West Virginia’s growingcaseload have been treated as pariahs for their close proximity to the infection cluster, officials said Friday.

One staffer was told to get back when she tried to use a card to pay for items at a gas station. A babysitter told another employee, “No, I don’t want your child in my home” because of virus concerns. When a third wearing a Sundale shirt entered a pharmacy, the store called the nursing home wanting to know how many other staffers had been there, Shrader said.

“It’s difficult enough to be tasked with these kinds of obligations, and it’s critically important that the moments they’re outside of the facility that they still feel that they’re part of their communities,” he said.
