Gallatin Nursing Home Reopens Over Objections

A Gallatin nursing home where over 100 cases of COVID-19 were found is reopening over objections from local leaders, according to a NewsChannel5 report:

Just days after that disturbing video of elderly patients being moved out of the nursing home in Gallatin because of a Coronavirus outbreak, there are plans to reopen the facility.

In fact, it could be back in business by Thursday despite objections from Sumner County officials who call the idea "irresponsible."

They said it's too soon and they have no confidence in the facility right now or the Tennessee State Health Department. And they believe the state's plan to reopen the nursing home now will only put more lives in danger. So they called NewsChannel 5 Investigates to express their concerns and sound the alarm.

"I tell you this, I would not want one of my loved ones to be in that facility right now," Sumner County Mayor Anthony Holt said.
