After suffering through nearly 12 weeks of another strict set of COVID-19 lockdown orders, some freedoms are being returned to aged care residents in NSW.

Lee-Fay Low, an expert in aged care and dementia at the University of Sydney, said facilities in locked-down areas would be apprehensive about allowing their residents to leave their homes in the midst of an ongoing outbreak.

She said the visitor ban had been particularly hard on residents with dementia who relied on familiar faces to hold on to their memories and identities. Mr Smith, 79, still visits his 81-year-old wife each night, provided the facility is not in lockdown, as he is recognised as an essential carer.

By default, people don't want vaccination.
