Mask-wearing in care homes update

Care workers and visitors to care homes do not routinely need to wear a face mask at all times in care settings anymore

However there remain a number of circumstances where it is recommended that care workers and visitors to care settings wear masks to minimise the risk of transmission of COVID-19. We will continue to provide face masks, so if you would like to wear one while you are visiting, please speak to a member of staff.

We are still asking visitors to phone and book so that we are able to contact them should an outbreak occur subsequently. Please rearrange your visit if you feel unwell.
