Visiting at Mersey Care can return to pre COVID arrangements

This means that:

  • There will be no limit to the number of visitors that patients can receive
  • There will be no requirement for patients to wear masks, or safe distance, unless advised by the IPC Team (for example, if the patient has an infection risk)

Visitors will not routinely need to wear face masks, unless:

  • They are visiting a patient who is vulnerable and at higher risk of infection
  • They’ve been risk assessed or advised by the IPC Team (for example, if the patient has an infection risk)
  • It’s personal choice or need, including if they are vulnerable and at higher risk of severe infection

There will be masks available in all Trust sites for our visitors use.
