Seven residents have died at an assisted living facility in Andover over the past week amid a major COVID-19 outbreak that infected dozens of residents and employees.

Over the past month, testing at Atria Marland Place has confirmed 50 cases among residents and 21 cases among staff, Atria Regional Vice President Kymberly Codair said in a statement.

Seven employees recovered after quarantining, while the other 14 are quarantining outside the assisted living community. Residents who tested positive are also quarantining and are being treated "by staff designated to only assist residents that are symptomatic or otherwise tested positive for COVID-19," Codair said.

"We continue to operate with escalated safety protocols at Atria Marland Place," Codair said. "This includes restricting access to essential visitors only, screening staff for temperatures and symptoms regularly, frequently monitoring residents for any symptoms, and staff wear the proper PPE at all times."
