Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Congregated Settings: Nursing Homes (Resumed)

Dr. Colm Henry:

Yes, we have advised nursing homes on the resumption of visiting and the advice pertains not to Perspex but to the number of visitors and the time that they can spend with their relative in nursing home settings. As was cited by a Deputy earlier, this is a critically important component of their care. The isolation has been, to say the least, damaging for people.
