WEATHER ALERTTags:&nbsp;Sign up for our NewslettersTags:&nbsp;AUSTIN – Some nursing home restrictions will be lifted Thursday as part of the latest phase of the governor’s reopening plan.Gov. Greg Abbott announced the change to nursing home visitations, , saying in part:“With the medical advancements we have made and the personal hygiene practices we have adopted, Texans have shown that we can address both the health and safety concerns of COVID-19 while also taking careful, measured steps to restore the livelihoods that Texans depend on. Achieving both goals requires safe standards that contain COVID-19, emphasize protecting the most vulnerable, and establish clear metrics that the public can depend on. That is why today we have announced expanded occupancy standards for a variety of services. But, Texans should remember that a steady and significant decline in COVID-19 cases is not a sign to let up in our vigilance against the virus. Instead, Texans must continue to heed the guidance of medical experts by wearing a mask, social distancing, and practicing proper sanitation strategies. By maintaining health and safety standards that are proven to mitigate COVID-19, we can continue to slow the spread while opening up the Texas economy.”The changes to the visitation policy for eligible nursing homes, assisted living facilities, intermediate care facilities, home and community-based service providers, and inpatient hospice go into effect Thursday.According to Abbott, :Nursing homes in Victoria, Laredo and the Rio Grande Valley are not eligible to allow visitors because Abbott says hospitalization rates in those areas are still too high.Copyright 2020 by KPRC Click2Houston - All rights reserved.About the Author:
