But no answers put forward as to o how indoor visits for all can go ahead ...... other than testing, which doesn't seem to be happening anytime soon.
But it's such a difficult situation to resolve - what would be the answer? It seems that a lot of people are trying hard to find solutions and although testing seems to be a key issue there are the other factors such as staffing levels, local infection rates, care home layout/lack of space, availability of PPE etc which also have a bearing. It's difficult to see how there could ever be a 'one size fits all' approach to visiting restrictions, and care homes differ as much much as their resident's needs do. It was mentioned that perhaps care homes who are close to each other could share suggestions/good practice about how visits can be effectively facilitated, for example, if one home is allowing indoor visits and the other isn't what are they doing differently?
