As New York nursing homes begin resuming visitation after a year of COVID-19 lockdowns, a new state law will ensure facilities provide access to family members and other people acting as caregivers to residents despite future outbreaks.
The law will protect the visitation rights of countless New Yorkers who provide physical, emotional and mental support for nursing home residents.
It stemmed from family members and advocates raising concerns the de-facto caregivers had been unjustly denied entry to nursing homes during the pandemic.

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier cast
The new Marvel series is led by the aforementioned Mackie as Sam Wilson/ Falcon, and Stan as Bucky Barnes/ Winter Soldier.
“I feel like with this series, we ve been able to show you why Sam and Bucky are who they are and why they believe in what they believe,” Mackie said. “You get to meet and get to know them as three-dimensional characters. You get to see them as people. It s funny because usually in a movie forum, you only have two hours to tell the beginning, middle and ending of a story. But we have six episodes to tell the entire scope of where these characters have been, how they feel about the world they re in, and where they re going once this series is over.”
The claim: California is vaccinating homeless people and prison inmates against COVID-19 before others
Shifting plans for distributing COVID-19 vaccines are drawing out new criticism for plans to administer the shots.
In a Facebook post on March 1, comedian and podcaster Adam Carolla took aim at the state of California. “In California the homeless and prisoners are getting the vaccine before taxpayers,” he wrote in the post that about 12,000 users have reacted to. “It sounds like something out of Idiocracy. If that isn’t the most California way of doing things I don’t know what is.”
Advocates have fought for those populations to be prioritized because they live in close quarters, such as homeless shelters, and cannot easily maintain social distance.

WOODBURY, Minn. The Woodbury 10 Theater is quiet now, but this Friday, the sounds of movies being played on the big screen will echo throughout the theater once again.
Owner Nathan Block is spending his day gearing up to reopen, days after Governor Tim Walz announced loosened restrictions for indoor operations. Blowing the dust off, turning on equipment, making sure things are working, ordering enough supplies, Block said. It s been very busy, says St. Croix Linen owner, Kelley Dixon.
The federal government is close to delivering 20 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine during the month of December, as promised, but states are taking longer than expected to get those doses into people s arms, officials admitted Wednesday.
About 15.5 million doses will be delivered by the end of the year, with the remaining 5 million arriving between Jan. 4-6, said Gen. Gus Perna, who co-leads Operation Warp Speed, the federal effort to develop and distribute COVID-19 vaccines, treatments and tests.
But only about 1 million of the 9 million doses distributed so far have been reported administered, his co-lead Moncef Slaoui confirmed during a news conference.
