There are hopes that nursing home visits might return within weeks after evidence that vaccines have lead to a significant drop in infections and deaths among residents.  

The number of coronavirus cases reported from nursing homes has fallen by 82% in a single week which the HSE says must be attributable to the rollout of vaccines.
