County health workers sought to restore order in a Hayward nursing home where seven patients have now died of COVID-19, as the crisis in facilities that house the frail and elderly worsened Thursday with a second death in Orinda and another outbreak at a nursing center in San Jose.
The Alameda County Health Department reported the new death at Gateway Care and Rehabilitation Center, and said that total infections there rose to 40 among residents — including the seven who have died — and 25 among staff. Contra Costa health officials reported that a second patient has died at Orinda Care Center, where 50 people had tested positive for the deadly virus.
