Contingent visits, one family member at a time and a maximum of one meeting a day with the obligation to wear some safety devices, from masks to gloves, avoiding contact with other guests of the structure. These are some of the indications included in the security protocols to avoid coronavirus infections during family visits to RSA guests and asylums in Apulia.
In fact, since last May the meetings in the structures have been resumed and, for now, there are no restrictions or closures.
However, the Department of Health of the Puglia Region has established anti-Covid rules during meetings: only one person can enter the RSA or retirement homes, which must be equipped with a mask and gloves that should never be removed during the visit . .
