CNN — Nursing homes in Washingto state have been instructed to limit visitors as coronavirus cases spread across 11 facilities – with Life Care Center in Kirkland at the epicenter of the outbreak. “We are encouraging all people, including family members and loved ones, to not visit nursing homes and assisted living facilities,” American Health Care Association President Mark Parkinson said Tuesday.
