Democratic senators are pressing the CDC to keep a national tally of long-term facilities with coronavirus cases. There were at least 400 a week ago.
The CDC did not say how many states had provided data for its previous tallies. On March 30, the same day the CDC said it had counted more than 400 facilities with coronavirus cases nationwide, NBC News counted nearly 300 in just three states and one county.
"The number referenced in the CMS press release [of March 23] and updated a week later [on March 30] reflected a snapshot from state health departments responding to informal outreach about their sense of how many nursing homes they were aware of with at least one COVID-19 positive resident," she said.
