---Polis: Limited Nursing Home Visitation To Be Allowed; Businesses Can Require Masks, And More---
Gov. Jared Polis announced Thursday that people will be allowed to visit their loved ones in nursing homes if they take precautions not to spread COVID-19.
They must be tested before going to visit nursing home residents and must have had no known exposures or symptoms. If a person meets those requirements, they will be allowed to have a 48-hour pass to enter the nursing home.
Polis did not provide a date when this rule will be implemented.
Polis also announced an executive order that provides additional cover for businesses who deny service to anyone not wearing a mask, effective immediately. Legal experts have said, even without the order, businesses could deny service to people without masks.
