Betty Lacy's family and friends visits her Monday outside of the long-term care wing at Coulee Medical Center for 101st birthday on Tuesday. Fewer restrictions on long-term care (LTC) facilities under Phase 3 guidance in the state's re-opening plan make such visits possible. Public health authorities hope a rush to drop precautions won't endanger progress. All LTC residents at CMC have received two vaccine doses.
