Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Congregated Settings: Nursing Homes
Mr. Tadhg Daly:
I do not believe that it is widespread for several reasons. First, all nursing homes follow the public health advice. Second, in the case of an outbreak, public health are in the building every day. Third, there was a change in policy around the term "essential workers" on foot of some recommendations from the deputy chief medical officer.
