Nursing home residents should be permitted to have unrestricted visits from their vaccinated friends and family members, an advocacy group has said.

Since March 22, nursing home and residential care residents may receive two visits a week under levels 3, 4 and 5 of restrictions once the facility has had a high level of vaccination.
