Visits to care homes will start from Monday, and will be once a week by appointment only for two relatives to enter that live in same household.

They will be 25 minute long and as perspex will be removed, the relatives will have to wear mask or visor while maintaining social distance.

The visits for residents of homes where 90% have been vaccinated, and two weeks have passed since the second vaccination.

Minister for Active Ageing Michael Farrugia explained that this will apply to 36 care homes around the country, with 3 care homes left that don’t have 90% of their residents vaccinated or that two weeks haven’t passed since the second dose.
