No, visits should not be allowed, because people will get infected, died and we will be in lockdown again. In the future people can visit their loved ones when we have a vaccine.

Yes because the old people in the care home might get a bit lonely and they might need a hug off their family because it won’t be the same if it is a nurse hugging them.

I think visitors going into care homes is quite risky because they could pass the virus onto residents. Perhaps the visitors could be tested before they enter.

I think that they can go in and have a visit as long as they wear gloves and masks. If they wear a glass visor that would also protect the old people.

I think it should be allowed because carers are allowed into people's houses so they can help. If visitors don't get to go in then the old people will feel sad and lonely.
