The Turlock Nursing and Rehabilitation Center reported the results in an update on its website on Sunday, after initially reporting three staff members and three residents testing positive for COVID-19 last week.

In all, the center said, 124 residents have been tested. Ten residents have tested negative, and 87 tests results are pending. Among staff, 155 people have been tested, with 23 coming back with negative results and the remaining 115 still pending.
