My mom is also in an assisted living facility. Thankfully, they, too, went into lockdown early. However, after only about a week of the no visitors, no day trips policy, they felt they needed to tighten that up and require residents to stay in their rooms, even for meals. So far, it was been effective. But, like you, I am constantly worried. Mom, at 89, is one of the young ones there.
