nationwide.
Most of the deaths of nursing home residents were caused by staff bringing it into the facility.

Remember that nursing home staffs are low-paid, for the most part.
Usually not well-educated, and often not particularly interested in patient care.

I'm attuned to this as a family member of a long-term care resident.
The Covid experience has been especially hard on these residents/patients who have spent much time under quarantine.
Every time a staff member turned up with Covid, the facility was closed down, and this went on for months on end
