Care homes and housing

Coronavirus (COVID-19)

Visiting care homes

We are supporting care homes in South Tyneside to implement COVID-secure visiting arrangements, which will enable families to see each other while also keeping staff and residents as safe as possible.

As each care home is different, visiting arrangements are slightly different for each home.

Contact the individual care home for details of their visiting arrangements.

Any care home with a current COVID-19 outbreak must suspend visits, apart from end of life visits, until the outbreak is over or under control.

For government guidance, see GOV.UK: Visiting care homes and GOV.UK: Summary of guidance for visitors.
