It has been brought to our attention that there was a story recently posted and said to be circulating around social media that there is a nursing home within Manchester Township with 94 positive COVID-19 patients. This is completely FALSE.
Please know that the township OEM Director has been working with the administrative staff of each facility regularly to ensure that pertinent information is exchanged. Because of this, we would have most certainly been aware if this was an issue in one of our facilities.Simply put…it is not.
We would like to remind our residents that not everything posted on social media, blogs, apps, etc. is factually accurate and that they should rely on information which is released from an official source.
Yeah……that wasn’t a “rumor control”, that was just a flat out denial.
So are the documented cases in Manchester more localized at various facilities in town or are they more randomly scattered around the general population? Or are they tied to a specific community that may have spread down Rt 70 from a nearby MAJOR hotspot (to the EAST)?
Answering THAT would have been “rumor control”, not a “it’s in one nursing home”….”no it isn’t”.
DERP!!!!
