COVID-19: Family members allowed to visit relatives in care homes if they test negative
1 december 2020
Family members will be able to visit their relatives in care homes from Wednesday if they have received a negative COVID-19 test.
The Department of Health and Social Care has said that more than a million tests will be sent to care home providers over the next month to allow safe indoor visits.
Visits will be able to happen across all tiers and will begin on Wednesday.
"I know how difficult it has been for people in care homes and their families to be apart for so long," health secretary Matt Hancock said.
"The separation has been painful but has protected residents and staff from this deadly virus.
"I'm so pleased we are now able to help reunite families and more safely allow people to have meaningful contact with their loved ones by Christmas.
"This news has been made possible by the unprecedented strides made in testing technology and capacity, as well as extra personal protective equipment (PPE) supplies."
