When will Shanghai nursing homes open for visits?

We learned from the Shanghai Civil Affairs Bureau that starting from March 1, immediate family members and guardians of the elderly who have not left Shanghai recently (within one month) can enter the nursing home to visit with their health code and itinerary code. . Visits will continue to be made by appointment. The number of visitors, the number of visits, the visiting routes, and the visiting areas in the nursing home will be determined by the nursing home based on facility conditions and reception capacity. Visits are temporarily closed to other personnel. For the elderly who have left the hospital for medical treatment or are out for business, they must return to the hospital with a valid negative result of the new coronavirus nucleic acid test within 7 days. Protection and medical observation should be strengthened after returning to the hospital. Newly admitted elderly people and staff members should make an appointment and register first, and then be admitted to the hospital with a valid negative nucleic acid test result for the new coronavirus within 7 days. After admission, protection and medical observation should be strengthened. If the above types of personnel pass through medium- and high-risk areas, they can enter the nursing home only after centralized isolation and other measures are implemented in accordance with Shanghai's epidemic prevention and control regulations and there are no abnormalities. Elderly care homes are implemented with reference to nursing homes. In addition, the community comprehensive service center for the elderly, day care center, community canteen, meal support point, as well as the elderly activity room, good neighbor point and other places are doing a good job in showing the health code, ventilating frequently, wearing masks, taking body temperature, and disinfecting regularly. Normal service order can be restored under various normalized epidemic prevention and control measures. On January 21, 2021, Shanghai reported 3 local confirmed cases of new coronavirus pneumonia. On the same day, the Shanghai Municipal Civil Affairs Bureau issued a notice to further strengthen epidemic prevention and control in nursing homes in accordance with the city's latest requirements for epidemic prevention and control, suspending visits from outsiders and entry of unnecessary personnel.
