'We have no idea what is going on there': Pa. and local officials call for probe of veterans' nursin [View all]

State and local officials are calling for an “immediate investigation” into how a Chester County nursing home for veterans has responded to the coronavirus pandemic after nearly 30 people have died there.

State Sen. Katie Muth, a Democrat representing Chester County, and the county’s coroner, Christina Vandepol, issued a statement Tuesday condemning the state-run Southeastern Veterans’ Center (SEVC) and its management.

They were joined by State Auditor General Eugene DePasquale, who called on the state Department of Military and Veterans Affairs (DMVA) and state Department of Health to release more information about the number of coronavirus cases and deaths at SEVC and the five other state-run veterans homes.
