Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Congregated Settings: Nursing Homes (Resumed)
Dr. Kathleen MacLellan:
The visiting guidance here is very much around the fact that the person in charge would plan visits and that where social distancing cannot be maintained visitors would be required to wear a surgical mask. The facilities themselves would provide the mask. The visit should occur in the resident's room, if the room is a single room and if it is a multi-occupancy room the visit would be a room away from other people.
