Nursing Homes Open To Visitors, But Screening For Flu-Bug

A ban on public visitation has been lifted for two local nursing homes.

The Passamaquoddy Lodge in St. Andrews and Lincourt Manor in St. Stephen both confirming they are now allowing family and friends to visit loved ones at the facilities after a ban was put in place December 31st to keep the influenza virus from coming into contact with residents.

Karen Lord from the Lodge tells Tide News they are open, however, she asks anyone showing cold or flu-like symptoms to please stay away.


Lincourt says they are currently screening visitors before allowing them to visit.
