Here's newschannel 2's joleen ferris.

This past weekend, visitation resumed at local, medium - security prisons in new york state, including three in the mohawk valley.

Most nursing home residents, though, are still unable to see their loved ones, due to criteria that some nursing homes and state lawmakers believe is virtually unachievable....most notably-no covid cases at the facility for 28 days .

None .
