DHS is not reporting the names of nursing homes with fewer than 10 beds, and it has not disclosed the number of confirmed cases or fatalities within the facilities. “As we continue to see cases of COVID-19 in nursing homes, it is important to be transparent and list the locations where they are occurring,” said DHS secretary-designee Andrea Palm. “We have opted to publish the names of nursing homes in order to provide peace of mind to families who cannot visit or check on their loved ones during these unprecedented times. We are grateful for all the important work that nursing homes are doing to prevent spread and the proactive steps they have taken to facilitate communication among families, loved ones and the residents in their care.” Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett applauded the release of names of nursing homes under COVID-19 investigation, saying it's an important transparency measure. “I look at it from the perspective of, if I had a parent who was either in one of these homes or was was going to go into one of these homes or I had a son or daughter who was working in one of these homes or was interested in working in one of these homes, you can bet your life i would want to know what the status was,” Barrett said.
