Coronavirus: Nursing home visits allowed to resume in Los Angeles County with restrictions

LOS ANGELES COUNTY (KABC) -- If you have a loved one in a Los Angeles County nursing home, you can now visit them with restrictions.

If you have a fever or other COVID-19 symptoms you will not be allowed to enter.

Health officials say the seven-day death rate has been trending downward at nursing homes.
