From Thursday 3rd of July residents in some of Scotland’s care homes will be able to see visitors in an outdoor setting. The visit must be by a single nominated visitor who must wear a face covering.

This is provided that all other infection control measures are in place.

Currently Scotland’s Care homes are in Phase 1 of the arrangements. On Thursday it will be Phase 2.
