Nursing home visitation restrictions to be eased

Caution still urged

CHARLESTON — More than 90 days after Gov. Jim Justice ordered all nursing homes closed to visitors, some easing of coronavirus restrictions at nursing homes will take place under strict guidance and rules.

Justice announced today limited visitation will be phased in at the state’s 123 nursing homes starting June 17.

The visitation restrictions will only be lifted if a nursing home facility reports more than 14 days since the facility had any active cases of COVID-19. Once the facility reports to the Department of Health and Human Resources, the nursing home will be allowed to allow limited visitation by visitation only.
