PA National Guard Called to Milton Long Term Care Facility
MILTON – A COVID-19 outbreak has been reported at a Milton long term care facility, prompting incoming help from the Pennsylvania National Guard. Northumberland County Commissioner Chairman Sam Schiccatano says a National Guard team is now assisting at the Rockwell Retirement Center.
Schiccatano says the county was notified Friday morning and says the outbreak has been brewing the last two weeks. He says only a small amount of the facility staff is available due to the outbreak and they needed outside help. The Department of Health does not have listed how many active cases there are. The Guard members say they will be there for about one week.
