Have the infection control rules that are apparently needed affected the operation of the nursing homes at the moment? We talk about congregated settings. Typically, people are sitting in sitting rooms, watching TV, sharing rooms on occasion or whatever. Nursing Homes Ireland has received guidance from the Department of Health on how they should operate from the infection control point of view. Does that mean that fewer people can fit in a nursing home? How is it affecting Nursing Homes Ireland members?
