More details
My brother has cerebral palsy, is wheelchair bound and communicates through a device. He has had both vaccines and desperately wants to come home for a visit. He is crying repeatedly because the requirement to self isolate has made any visits out untenable due the impact it would have on his mental health. This is against his human rights, is unlawful and discriminatory.
