Many facilities appear to be latching onto the caveat that they should only reopen if they feel safe enough to do so. That leaves a lot of leeway for facilities to keep their doors locked, said Melissa Seifert, associate state director of AARP Michigan.
“There was an executive order saying that (the state would) encourage in-person visits if they are able to do so. That ‘able to do so’ is a very broad definition.”
A few places are getting creative, employing hugging stations or visiting booths to help alleviate the isolation and loneliness felt by residents. But some argue more is needed.

Despite widespread efforts to increase access and awareness, new research shows there s been virtually no change in the number of people on waiting lists for potentially lifesaving kidneys over the past two decades.

BUTTE â The wearing of face coverings in public places in Butte-Silver Bow remains mandated, under a Board of Health COVID-19 emergency rule adopted Dec. 22, 2020.
Butte-Silver Bow Health Officer Karen Sullivan underscored that on Wednesday, in the wake of Montana Gov. Greg Gianforte announcing he ll lift the statewide mask mandate, effective Friday.
In addition to the face-covering mandate, the Dec. 22 rule ordered 10 p.m. closure times at bars, restaurants, distilleries, breweries, casinos and gyms.
At a special meeting on Feb. 4, the Board of Health voted to lighten the closure restriction to 12:30 a.m. Remaining under the Dec. 22 rule is a requirement that establishments maintain 50 percent capacity. Also, those seeking to have a public gathering of more than 25 people require Health Department approval for the gathering.
