Visitors won’t be allowed at long-term care facilities in Appleton.
The city’s public health department is issuing the order.
The only exceptions are for certain situations, including a drastic change in condition, or if people are at the end of their life.
Public Health Officer Kurt Eggebrecht says they’re trying to do everything they can to protect the most vulnerable.
The city is encouraging places to officer visitation through video, like Skype and Face Time.
Staffers will have to be screened at the start of every shift for fever or respiratory symptoms. That includes taking their temperature.
