Care home residents in England will be allowed to pick one person to visit them regularly from 8 March, in the first confirmed easing of lockdown since its reintroduction last month.
They will be able to meet indoors and hold hands – but visitors must wear PPE and be tested before entering the home.
Health Secretary Matt Hancock said the rule change was a “first step to getting back to where we want to be”.
PM Boris Johnson will reveal his roadmap for easing lockdown…
