There are huge gaps in our knowledge of how the new corovavirus is moving through nursing homes.

Today on Stateside, as Northern Michigan and the UP reopened restaurants this past weekend, other businesses stayed closed. We speak with a hair stylist who wants to find a safe way to reopen. Plus, the difficulty of tracking the number of COVID-19 cases in elder care facilities.

Listen to the full show above or find individual segments below.
