Indoor care home visits have resumed in England today and the BBC has been speaking to some of those affected.
Beccy Pile, 48, from St Albans, Hertfordshire, spent an hour with her 23 year-old son today at his care home in Essex earlier.
Luke has lived at the home for adults with learning disabilities for the last three years - but Beccy has only managed to see him twice in the last year before today.
“It feels like it’s been forever since I last saw him," she says. "It was incredible. He was really excited and had tidied his flat.
“We had to stop ourselves from hugging each other because that’s not allowed yet but he has a sign for a hug where he puts his arms across his chest which he did and he blew me lots of kisses.
“The visit was incredibly well-managed. I only had an hour but it didn’t feel like an hour because the home had everything ready.
"I had my test in the car park half an hour before and as soon as it was negative I could go in and spend my time with him.
“I did have a moment where I thought ‘what if it’s positive because Luke thinks I’m coming?’ I thought I might have to just see him through the window or something but thankfully it was OK."
