Pa. nursing home residents still lonely, isolated despite vaccinations
The rest of the state will fully reopen May 31, but just one new case of COVID-19 at a long-term care facility separates families for weeks. Author: Rachel Yonkunas (FOX43) Updated: 11:35 PM EDT May 8, 2021
GETTYSBURG, Pa. Pennsylvania will full reopen on May 31, but restrictions at nursing homes and other long-term care facilities will remain in place. Many people are frustrated with the guidelines because just one new case of COVID-19 at a facility separates families for weeks, regardless of a resident’s vaccination status.
The vaccines brought hope for people like Donna Kessler. When nursing homes started to reopen in March, Kessler was finally able to see her 82-year-old mother in person at Genesis Healthcare’s Gettysburg Center. However, those visits ended March 15.

In 1828, school district No. 7 trustees contacted the Bethlehem Presbyterian Church and purchased some land from them with the intention of building a school. The building of the school took place between 1835 and 1840. The school was painted white to match the church that was on the same property.
Teachers at that time received very little pay. The highest pay was $10 a week. The school remained open until the 1930s.
The first Bethlehem Presbyterian Church building was constructed prior to 1731, but the exact date is unclear. The Church is the third oldest Presbyterian Church in Orange County and history says that George Washington worshiped at the Church sometime during his stay, from 1782 to 1783.
