Your Covid Stories

R&RA has launched a new mini-series, ‘Your Covid Stories‘. It shares stories about the impact COVID-19, and measures to manage it, have had on families. The series kicks off with three stories:

• a husband and wife, together for 65 years, separated by visiting restrictions
• a mum and daughter who have lost their relationship during the pandemic
• a daughter with know-how of dementia who now feels unable to advocate for her mum

The stories highlight the devastating impact visiting restrictions are having on families across the country. R&RA is campaigning to End Isolation In Care. We are calling for better Government guidance on visiting and for essential visitors to be treated as key workers, with the same access to testing, PPE and other infection control procedures.

More stories will be added to the series as the campaign progresses. Keep an eye on our website, Twitter or Facebook for more stories soon!
