Additional Information / Shotlist According to data collected by The New York Times as of early October 2020, more than 35 percent of coronavirus deaths in the United States have been linked to nursing homes and other long-term care facilities. Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has decades of experience in implementing infection prevention and control (IPC) measures in projects around the world. After applying this expertise to respond to COVID-19 in nursing homes in Europe, we decided to offer support to long-term care facilities in the US. MSF teams have provided training to nursing home staff in the Navajo Nation, in Michigan, and in Houston, Texas.
