CMO: Ban lifted on visits to elderly care homes and social institutions

Residents who hold a vaccination certificate are now allowed to leave the home without having to get tested on returning.

Chief Medical Officer Cecília Müller said the ban on visits to elderly care homes and social institutions has been lifted.

The CMO said all visitors must hold a vaccination certificate and can be accompanied by children under 18. Residents who hold a vaccination certificate are now allowed to leave the home without having to get tested on returning. Those who do not hold a certificate and want to leave for longer than 72 hours can return only after a negative rapid antigen test result, she added.
