The Minister of State for Mental Health and Older People, Mary Butler, has introduced the latest guidelines for visiting nursing homes.

The new guidelines for visitors are as follows:

  2. To wear face coverings and to get their temperature taken
  3. Not allowed to bring in food to the residents
  4. To allow more family members to visit their loved ones but only for an hour a week
