Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, visitor restrictions (including restrictions for Essential Care Partners) in health and care facilities increased substantially, particularly in the early days of the pandemic. These policy changes have been well intended, and as we have seen throughout the pandemic, have created unintended harm to patients*, caregivers, and staff by restricting the physical presence of Essential Care Partners.
*The term “patient” is used inclusively to refer to people who receive care or services in a variety of settings, including acute care, outpatient and community services, long-term care, home care, etc.
