Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Congregated Settings: Nursing Homes
Mr. Tadhg Daly:
There are two things. Yes, the last number of weeks have been encouraging. Obviously, yesterday's announcement that there were no deaths was very encouraging for all of us, as a society. Things have definitely improved but we cannot afford to be complacent at all. I am aware there is some talk within NPHET and among others about a potential second wave. That is where the expert group the Minister has established is important because it will, hopefully, do what did not happen, maybe, back in February and March, and provide a roadmap for Ireland Inc. for public, private and voluntary nursing homes.
