data.ct.gov | Last Updated 15 Sep 2023

As of 6/1/2023, this data set is no longer being updated. Connecticut nursing homes are required by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to report on the impact of COVID-19 on their residents and staff through CDC’s National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN). This reporting is intended to reflect recent COVID-19 activity in nursing homes. Data presented here from NHSN reflect resident and staff COVID-19 cases and COVID-related deaths reported for Connecticut nursing homes for the previous week, Thursday–Wednesday. All nursing homes follow NHSN definitions and instructions when reporting to the NHSN COVID-19 module, ensuring data are reported in a systematic way. These data do not show where the resident or staff got infected. Detailed information about COVID-19 reporting for nursing homes and NHSN can be found here: https://www.cdc.gov/nhsn/ltc/covid19/index.html
