New York State Health Commissioner Doctor Howard Zucker is now announcing the guidelines that will allow visitors back into nursing homes on February 26.
Broome's Executive says the 200+ deaths from the pandemic in area nursing homes has weighed heavily on him and other officials but it had not been a surprise.
Broome County officials say there are still appointments available at the mobile rapid testing site that is currently set up on Binghamton’s South Side.
Broome County Executive Jason Garnar says a shortage of test supplies is continuing to limit tests to only people with symptoms and who have an appointment.
