Care home residents will be allowed to have two visitors from next week after a campaign by loved ones.
The Scottish Government published new guidance yesterday on resuming visits halted by the pandemic.
The guidance recommends that from the start of March onwards, all care homes which can should support residents to have up to two designated visitors each.
During her daily briefing yesterday, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said: “That might not sound like much – and we obviously hope to get back to more normality in the weeks to come – but I know for many across the country even that is a big step back to a more normal way of life.
“It is not a complete return to normal yet, because there will be a lot of Covid safety measures in place – face coverings, rigorous hygiene and the availability of testing – but it is nevertheless a really important move forward.
