OSSIPEE — Although a positive COVID case closed Mountain View Community nursing home to visitors last week, it may be reopened Sept. 10 if test results are negative, officials for the county home said Thursday.
Last Friday a Facebook post said a staff member tested positive and the home was closed to visitors and residents had to stay in their units.
