Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Congregated Settings: Nursing Homes
Matt Shanahan (Waterford, Independent) | Oireachtas source
On the isolation of residents at present, we know that four out of five residents who have come into contact with Covid have survived. We assume the science is not exact, but we know people have antibodies for a period. Is it possible that we could look at antibody testing to try to identify those nursing home patients and allow them to have access to their family and relatives, rather than continuing to be locked down?
