The Glendale Home was a happy place, as visitors walked in after a year of lockout.
However, the Glendale Home reopened not because of the relaxed state regulations, it reopened because it reached the threshold of the old state regulations: It was COVID-free for more than 14 days.
The 14-day limitation remains in effect, and as of Friday only 194 of 610 nursing homes statewide meet that requirement, which is still a high hurdle to clear on the tail end of the huge post-holiday surge in COVID-19 in New York.
