If you are in that 65 and up category or if you're somebody that does have a significant underlying condition, our long term care residents we're protecting by continuing a lot of the things that we've done. But now We're testing all the staff every two weeks at over 4,000 long term care facilities throughout the state of Florida. We've now had samples taken from all 200,000 over the last two weeks. This is kind of our first week doing that after we had gone through and tested everybody over a couple month period. (23:41–23:45)
