The Province is easing restrictions allowing fully vaccinated residents at LTC homes will be allowed to make day/overnight trips, inside visits will be allowed along with brief hugs.
ONTARIO - The Province is easing visitation rules at long-term care homes.
Starting today, fully vaccinated residents will be allowed to leave for day trips. They will even start allowing some visitors inside and brief hugs are allowed once again.
Here is the the complete list from the Province.
- Residents who have been fully immunized can leave their long-term care homes for day and overnight social outings and trips.
- Residents with mobility limitations or health conditions (essentially, factors unrelated to weather) that make participating in outdoor visits highly unlikely or impossible may have one general visitor at a time inside the long-term care home, in addition to an essential caregiver.
- Regardless of resident and visitor vaccination status, brief hugs can now take place. Where both the resident and visitors are fully immunized, close physical contact, including handholding, can now take place safely. It continues to be important that residents and visitors adhere to public health measures in the home, including good hand hygiene and appropriate masking.
