The state Health Department revises its guidance for nursing home visitation so it aligns with that from the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. It permits visitation at all times and for all residents with limited exceptions for unvaccinated residents in areas of high community spread along with locations that have lower resident vaccination rates, residents with confirmed COVID-19 infection or those in isolation or quarantine. DOH strongly recommends that all facilities offer testing for visitors.
