"The National Guard is assisting a Delaware County nursing home where nearly 50 people have tested positive for the novel coronavirus.

The Broomall Rehabilitation Nursing Center, a 298-bed facility in Marple Township with 49 COVID-19 cases, requested help from the Pennsylvania National Guard Medical Team to provide support for staff. The team is made up of 18 military nurses and medics.

“We are incredibly thankful for and have been impressed with their proactive and timely response,” a spokesperson for the nursing home wrote. “The National Guard has committed 18 personnel in total that will be on site at the Center seven days a week over the next four weeks. Twelve Army medics and six Air Force nurses will work in 12-hour shifts with six medics and three nurses working each shift."
