Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Congregated Settings: Nursing Homes

Mr. Tadhg Daly:

That is the next question in terms of this expert group. It is looking at how we can plan for the next six to 18 months. Over the last while we have seen that people are practising cocooning, in effect. In the private and voluntary sector, the vast majority would be in single en-suite rooms. Unfortunately, as regards the social connectedness piece, people very often are staying in their rooms.
