A nursing home near Seattle announced Sunday that it is locked down after a worker and resident were found to have COVID-19 disease, said officials at the home, as two other cases were confirmed in King County on the same day.

The Life Care Center in Kirkland, Washington, said that “all visits to the facility from families, volunteers, or vendors are not allowed.” At the same time, it has put a hold on new admissions to “fully focus on our current residents and associates,” according to the firm.
