Historian Andy Verhoff didn t see his mother for Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Year s. But for Mother s Day, he drove from his home in Columbus, Ohio, to spend a day in rural Putnam County, Ohio with her, stopping at the first historical marker they d worked on together. Both mother and son were vaccinated, giving them the confidence to take their masks off which made it feel like a normal, pre-pandemic day, Verhoff said.
“We never let the mask get in the way of things,” Verhoff said. “It was just nice to not have my glasses fog up.”
Some long-term care facilities across the country prepared for the special day by facilitating in-person visits, especially as some states have relaxed visitation rules in recent months given rising vaccination rates and dropping case numbers.
