NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — In an effort to become more transparent, the Tennessee Department of Health released a list of nursing homes affected by COVID-19.

We know that 16 of those who have died of Coronavirus were residents of the Gallatin Center for Rehabilitation and Healing. In all, more than 100 residents and staff tested positive there.

The state has required all long-term care facilities with two or more COVID-19 cases to report them. Beginning Friday, that information will be available for you to see online. The state health commissioner wants everything to have some prospective during this time.

“I do want to remind you, this doesn't infer any type of wrong-doing, this is just facilities that have had positive cases,” Dr. Lisa. Piercey said. “As I've said sometimes, even the best laid plans and best practices still can't prevent all cases from coming in.”

The list will be published later Friday on the Tennessee Department of Health's website.
