To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether, from 21 June 2021, all care home visits can resume with covid-19 testing procedures in place.

From 21 June, our guidance will allow care home residents to go on visits out of the care home without any need to isolate afterwards, except when staying overnight in hospital or where the visit is deemed high-risk following an assessment by the care home. All care home residents should have the opportunity to nominate an ‘essential care giver’, who can continue to visit during periods of isolation or during an outbreak. There remain some limited restrictions on visits in care homes. We will further ease restrictions on visiting when it is safe to do so.
