Allow extended family to visit relatives in care homes.

The Issue

I have an uncle who lives in a care home. Due to coronavirus restrictions I have not seen him since 2019.

He is currently only allowed 2 visits a week, and by 3 named people. He is deteriorating all the time, he has dementia and doesn’t understand why people aren’t visiting him. This is completely against human rights and freedoms. With testing there is no reason why extended family shouldn’t be able to visit.

My uncle has been a big part of my life, and I love him dearly. It is incredibly upsetting not being able to see him. He is hard of hearing and sight, so other means of communication are not practical. Please sign and share this petition to allow extended family to visit their relatives in care homes.
