Venis says the decision to restrict visitors was to protect the people who live here.

She says... she's relieved the governor is encouraging all nursing homes and assisted living facilities to do the same.

"i applaud his decision 100%."

The governor and health officials have been saying seniors, especially over the age of 60 are the most vulnerable.

Of the six positive cases in the state - half are over 60.

Venis says nearly all of her 375 residents are over that age too... but they haven't seen anyone with symptoms. "our concern with our campus is that we serve the elderly."

In addition to the visitor restrictions... their campus is screening every person living and working there.

Staff is also cleaning the campus regularly.

"it smells pretty good in there."

While restrictions are in place... venis says they are finding ways for residents to still talk and see their loved ones.

"we are offering facetime, skype."

"sayre christian village can't say how long these visitor restrictions are going to be in place.

All it can say is it's watching the virus one day at a time.

Reporting in lexingotn, alexus larson, abc 36 news."
