FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – An Atria Willow Wood employee has tested positive for COVID-19. Atria has already had 19 residents who tested positive with coronavirus and six residents die due to complications of COVID-19, the respiratory illness caused by the new coronavirus. The 77-year-old retired travel agent and magician was the first Atria Willow Wood resident to die of the illness. Since then, five more Atria Willow Wood residents have died of COVID-19. It’s unclear how many residents at long-term care facilities in the state have died of COVID-19, but the the hardest hit has been Atria Willow Wood.

Ron Desantis sent a warning to the operators of assisted living facilities saying they need to take responsibility for their residents during the deadly pandemic. The 92-year-old man was a resident at the Atria Willow Wood assisted living facility in Fort Lauderdale. The first death was confirmed earlier this week and the patient was identified as Richard Curren, 77, a resident of the Atria Willow Wood assisted living facility in Fort Lauderdale. The Agency for Health Care Administration, which oversees and regulates assisted living facilities in Florida, now has an embedded staff at the facility around the clock, according to Desantis. “If you are an operator at one of these facilities, you need to take responsibility for your residents and you need to take action to protect your people,” said Desantis.
