Politico featured the California Department of Veterans Affairs in a story that posted Tuesday, explaining CalVet’s success thus far in protecting veterans, their spouses, and employees at its eight Veterans Homes of California during the COVID-19 outbreak.
Reporter Maggie Severns describes in great detail the proactive steps CalVet and Secretary Vito Imbasciani took when the evidence of the virus and its potential to spread emerged last winter.
