Lewis County nursing home suspends visitation again as staff members test positive for COVID


LOWVILLE — Two positive COVID-19 tests in staff members have led to the suspension of all visitors to the Lewis County nursing home again.
According to a news release issued by the Lewis County Health System on Tuesday evening, the cases were identified during weekly staff testing that has continued even as the number of COVID cases have diminished in the community. The facility is in the process of testing all residents and staff, called “outbreak testing,” which is required by the state Department of Health visitation guidelines when a new case of COVID-19 is identified, as is the suspension of all visitation.
