Could part of this be that the personnel in the nursing homes are not the same in training as the personnel in a hospital? Professionals who have learned how to avoid infections are undoubtedly more adept at keep things from spreading. Not saying this IS the reason, but maybe it contributes.

I can’t speak to the training, however I can speak to the actual practice I have observed in the nursing homes that my Mom was in at various times.

In general the actual sanitation practices are much less than in a hospital. Of course there are also differences in practices in the hospital. The general practices are not as good as those followed in the ICU, and the ICU is not as good as that followed in the recovery area for people coming out of open heart surgery-for example.

Nursing homes will need to improve their standard procedures to avoid Corona Chan transmissions.
