Los Angeles County will begin to allow limited visitation of some nursing facilities, which have been locked down to visitors after becoming a hot bed for coronavirus cases.

In order to allow visitors, nursing homes will have to show that they have not had any cases of COVID-19 for 28 days. And visitors with any symptoms of fever or cold will not be permitted to enter a facility, Barbara Ferrer, the director of the county Department of Health, said Wednesday.

Visitors will also have to maintain social distancing and wear face masks.

Ferrer also said there could also be movement this week in allowing nail salons to reopen.

“We are working very closely with the board (of supervisors) to assess the options on the reopening,” she said at a media briefing. “We hope that we’ll be able to share more information … as early as tomorrow about where we continue and how we continue on our recovery journey.”

Ferrer added that businesses are obligated to follow rules set by the county for reopening, noting that on Monday that county inspectors had visited 2,000 restaurants over the weekend, and half of them were out of compliance with operating protocols.

The county also announced a record-high single-day number of new coronavirus cases, which health officials blamed on a “dump” of rest results from a single lab. Officials said 2,219 people contracted the virus, pushing the county total to 77,189.

Long Beach reported 71 additional cases, bringing the city’s total to 2,783. One additional person died in Long Beach, bringing the death toll to 116. Of those deaths, 89 have been associated with nursing homes.

Long Beach, which operates its own health department, has not yet announced whether it will allow nail salons to open, nor whether visitation will be allowed in nursing homes. A media briefing is scheduled for Thursday.
