Antigen testing could play a role in supporting the return of in-person visits in nursing homes, according to Nursing Home Ireland (NHI).

NHI, the national representative body for the private and voluntary nursing home sector, said the rollout of antigen testing should be explored by NPHET as part of a suite of public health measures to assess easing of visitor restrictions in nursing homes.
