TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — How will long-term care facilities in Florida safely reopen to family members and other visitors?
That's what state officials discussed on Friday afternoon.
The Task Force on the Safe and Limited Re-Opening of Long-Term Care Facilities, which was created by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, held a virtual meeting.
WATCH MEETING:
SPECIAL COVERAGE: Coronavirus
The goal of the task force is to create guidelines to allow family members to safely visit their loved ones in long-term care facilities, like nursing homes and assisted living centers.
Visitation at those facilities stopped in March in an effort to limit the spread of the deadly coronavirus.
