New guidelines for visiting nursing homes residents comes into operation today.
Residents can have two visits per week on general compassionate grounds, once there's a high level of vaccination in the facility.
There is no requirement to limit each visit to less than one hour.
Sage Advocacy says the new measures are a very welcome first step and it's urging nursing homes to respect and comply with the guidelines.
