Map: Here Are The SoCal Skilled Nursing Homes With Coronavirus Cases
The state health department has for the first time released detailed data on the numbers of positive coronavirus cases reported at skilled nursing facilities across California.
We plotted the Southern California facilities in the map above. Each point represents a nursing home that has reported either staff or patients testing positive for COVID-19.
The colors represent how many patients have tested positive at a facility (gray = 0; yellow = 0-11 ; shades of red = 11 or more, where darker shades mean more cases). Where a facility has reported at least one positive case but fewer than 11, the state did not provide the exact number.

Two facilities could not be mapped based on the limited information provided by the state. Those facilities are "HI-DESERT MEDICAL CENTER D/P SNF" and "PROVIDENCE ONTARIO," both in San Bernardino County and each with fewer than 11 patients and fewer than 11 staff testing positive.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
