For the first time in over three months, people have been able to visit their loved ones in retirement homes.
A couple of weeks ago, Carroll Duvall was able to see her father at Birkdale in Milton.
She says it’s been a long time coming since COVID first began.
Duvall says that she recommends that people go visit their loved ones if they can.
Finally, she was ecstatic to see her father.
Additionally, retirement homes, as well as other residential care settings, must meet the following conditions before they welcome visitors:
-Homes must not be in the outbreak;
-Homes must have an established process for communicating visitor protocol and the associated safety procedures; and
-Homes must maintain the highest infection prevention and control standards.
