A national restraining order was introduced on 1 April 2020. During the summer, it has been possible to visit one's relatives outdoors or to set up Plexiglas in the accommodation.

But on the first of October, the restrictions are lifted and you can then visit inside the accommodation.

But only in the caregiver's apartment, you are not allowed to stay in public areas of the accommodation.  

- We have developed county-wide routines for how the visits should take place.

We will also send out an information letter to relatives.

This is something that many have looked forward to, but it is important that everyone takes their responsibility, says Malin Sundbom, operations manager for care and nursing housing in Umeå municipality.
