Coronavirus Causes VA to Restrict Visitors to Certain Facilities

Veterans

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is increasing efforts to protect its most vulnerable patients from the coronavirus by prohibiting visitors at its 134 nursing homes and 24 spinal cord injury centers.

No outsiders are permitted to see these residents except for “compassionate cases” when a veteran is in the last stages of life in hospice. Additionally, all nursing homes have suspended new admissions except for transfers from other VA facilities after a doctor's clearance. All spinal cord injury and disorder centers aren't admitting new patients for routine matters. All staff is being screened daily.
