The Ford Government is about to loosen some of the restrictions for long-term care visits in Niagara and beyond.
It will allow indoor visits of up to two people starting next Wednesday.
Essential caregivers will also be allowed back into the facilities.
Minister of Long Term Care Dr. Merrilee Fullerton says visitors also won't have to prove that they have been tested for COVID-19 sometime over the past two weeks for outdoor visits only.
