Families across California will finally be permitted to visit loved
ones in nursing homes, after months of being unable to have
in-person visits. Updated guidelines released Friday allow indoor
visits in California’s 46 counties currently in red, orange and
yellow tiers; it also only applies to long-term care facilities,
like nursing homes, but not to assisted or independent living
communities. We’ll hear about the new guidance and how the state is
keeping elder care facilities safe during the pandemic. CDPH
