If you’re not fully vaccinated and want to visit a family member at any of the homes across the country, then you will be required to sign a waiver, relieving the Government or private home administrators of any liability, in the event of potential transmission of COVID-19.
This as the Government of Grenada today sent out a release advising the general public of new policy guidelines for visiting elderly persons who are institutionalized in homes across the country.
The release says visits are now permitted for fully vaccinated persons, whose elderly relatives are also vaccinated.
In recognition of the susceptibility of older persons to COVID-19, restrictions were placed on visits to elderly homes as part of lockdown measures instituted in March last year.
The new visitation guidelines are part of Government’s ongoing efforts to restore normalcy to the operations of various sectors.
There are 10 Government-owned and privately run elderly homes across the country.
Members of the public who will be visiting their elderly relatives are encouraged to adhere to all COVID-19 protocols in place at the various elderly homes, particularly the wearing of masks, sanitization and physical distancing.
