A series of measures have been introduced across the Island’s health and care services for the length of the circuit-break lockdown. Restrictions on visiting are in place at all health and care settings including Noble’s and Ramsey Cottage Hospitals, along the same lines as during the last circuit breaker lockdown. Visits will be allowed only in exceptional circumstances and in agreement with ward or centre managers. DHSC residential homes for older people, dementia care residential units and learning disability community homes are also closed to all non-essential visitors, while Adult Social Care day services have been suspended in line with advice to stay at home and avoid the mixing of households. The measure applies to older people s, dementia care and learning disability day services Island-wide.
