Effective 13 march 2021, Province of Newfoundland and Labrador (NL) Special Measures Order (Personal Care Homes, Long Term Care and Assisted Living Facilities) was modified: "Limit visitation to only two designated visitors and, as required, one essential visitor per resident. An essential visitor is an individual considered, by the residents care team, to be paramount to the resident's physical care and mental well-being, including assistance with feeding, mobility, personal care, communication assistance, or assistance with significant behavioural symptoms; Ensure residents who are admitted from the community or acute care undergo screening, testing and isolation prior to admission to the home or facility; Ensure anyone who enters the home or facility is screened before entry; Ensure that staff are only shared between other homes or facilities in urgent situations.” 2 designated visitors is the new change. However, the other restrictions remain consistent with coding "3=extensive protections”.
