Morrison says there will be no limit on the number of visitors and residents can increase the number of people designated as a partner-in-care from one to three.She says residents will also be allowed to go for drives with a partner-in-care and to go on overnight visits. Morrison says restrictions on the duration of visits are also being removed including for patients who are nearing their end of life.
