Iowa AFSCME president Danny Homan accused the state Tuesday of exposing veterans to novel coronavirus. Homan said an employee at the Iowa Veterans Home in Marshalltown tested positive for COVID-19 last week.He claims other employees who worked with that person have been asked by the Iowa Veterans Home to continue working even though they have been exposed. Homan released a statement that said, in part, "This is wrong, and their actions are putting too many at risk. The veterans receiving care are considered vulnerable, and without a reasonable plan in place to minimize their risk of exposure, their health and safety are endangered."
