The Times-Union reported today that the New York State Department of Health has fined three area nursing homes for violations during the coronavirus pandemic: "Capital Region nursing homes fined $32K for COVID violations." It should come as no surprise that the Grand Rehabilitation and Nursing at Barnwell in Valatie, where 142 people contracted COVID-19 earlier this year, received the largest fine of the three, indeed, one of the largest fines anywhere in the state: $22,000, for "multiple violations that had 'potential to cause more than minimal harm.'"
