RICHMOND, Va. - Six more residents of a Virginia long-term care facility have died, bringing the death toll there amid a coronavirus outbreak to 39.

That's according to a statement Thursday from the administrator of Canterbury Rehabilitation & Healthcare Center in suburban Richmond.

The statement says Canterbury has 84 other residents who have tested positive for COVID-19 and are receiving treatment either at a hospital or onsite.

Canterbury has one of the worst-known outbreaks of coronavirus among long-term care facilities in the U.S. Its death toll is approaching that of the Life Care Center of Kirkland, a Seattle-area nursing home that was an early center of the disease.
