& #39;Down has a warning to the rest of the country….: reform how social care handles Covid-19 or face rising deaths and a second devastating wave of infection.& #39;

#Outcry #COVID19

& #39;Infected patients continue to be discharged into care homes from hospitals, spreading the virus& #39;

Where is the #Outcry?
#COVID19

‘High-protection …masks requested …. never came. Carers were left to spread the disease and fell ill…..

Where is the #Outcry?
#COVID19

& #39;Her home still faces a PPE shortage and cannot afford the prices of kit on the open market.’

Where is the #Outcry?
#COVID19

& #39;The care home sector needs help: staff, protection and volunteers.
Staff need to be tested “early and often”, and there needs to be central management of discharged hospital patients so they are put in the safest, rather than most available vacancy.& #39;
