Indoor visits in care homes in England will be allowed by one person per resident from 8 March. The designated person will be required to take a coronavirus test beforehand and wear personal protective equipment. The visitor will be able to hold the resident’s hand – though any other close contact will be discouraged.
We would like to hear from families on how they feel about being to able to visit their relative in a care home.
