Some nursing home residents will see their family members for the first time since March later this month.
Visits are to be allowed from June 15th, but only in facilities where there is no Covid-19 outbreak.
Indoor visits once a week by two people will be allowed, with only one visitor present at any one time, and must be pre-arranged and last less than half an hour.
