This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition Establish a visitors "corridor" for families to visit relatives in care homes.
Surely, a corridor could be set up in the same way as travel corridors, except that families could isolate before visiting as opposed to after. Reasonable protocols could be made in order to achieve this. The Government has the expertise and resources to make this happen as an urgent priority.
More details
Many families and their relatives are suffering untold harm and mental anguish because they are not allowed to meet. In many circumstances these relatives do not have much time left and desperately want to see their families.
