NORTH HAVERHILL — Five more employees at the Grafton County Nursing Home have tested positive for COVID-19, according to the nursing home.
One worker had previously tested positive on Dec. 4, Craig Labore, the home’s administrator, said in an email. Labore said he learned of the five new positives on Monday.
Results from testing of residents last week all turned out negative, he said. Additional testing of residents and workers is planned for this week, he said.
A female resident of the Grafton County Nursing Home died after testing positive for COVID-19 in April. That case came soon after a traveling nurse who worked at the nursing home for a few days in mid-April developed symptoms and tested positive for the disease.
