Vermont: Long-term-care historical data

Vermont reports long-term care data for Assisted Living Facilities and behavioral health institutions. Senior housing, correctional facilities and therapeutic treatment facilities are not included. Vermont reports cumulative death data associated with outbreaks. Vermont defines outbreaks as one resident or staff member with COVID-19, and one or more residents or staff with whom they had contact with respiratory illness, or two or more facility residents and/or staff with an illness start date or positive test within 14 days.

Vermont does not report facility-level data.
