According to the Department of Health, there are 126 long-term care facilities in Mississippi with coronavirus infections. The list of names published late Wednesday contains only 116 facilities. It's unclear what accounts for the discrepancy.

Bedford Care Center of Hattiesburg has the highest number of employee cases (55), resident cases (92) and resident deaths (25). 

According to the facility's website, the nursing home has 152 beds, meaning more than half of its residents have contracted the disease and a sixth of all residents there have died from coronavirus.
