Operative words

Starting June 19, Long-Term Care Residential facilities can allow for up to two (2) visitors per resident, per day. The visits must be conducted outside only and adhere to guidance issued by DAIL around social distancing temperature checks, and record keeping of all visitors... This policy still restricts non-essential workers from entering the facilities... Vermonters over the age of 65 are no longer required to stay home.

Enforcement

DAIL licensing; VT-025 § 2(a) ('shall comply with visitor access guidance promulgated by the State')
