    KANSAS CITY, Kan. — The number dead after a coronavirus outbreak at a Kansas City, Kansas, rehabilitation facility has grown to six with another 50 patients and staff testing positive.

    Health officials with the Unified Government of Wyandotte County said Wednesday that seven of the sickened residents of Riverbend Post Acute Rehabilitation are hospitalized. Wyandotte County’s chief medical officer, Dr. Allen Greiner, blamed the high number of cases on “a confluence of bad circumstances,” including a lag in testing results.

    KCUR reports that Greiner also said Tuesday that the close interactions required at a rehab facility helped fuel the spread.
