Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Congregated Settings: Nursing Homes
Michael Collins (Cork South West, Independent) | Oireachtas source
Do nursing homes plan to test and monitor the variables within those settings, such as the testing of staff on a weekly basis, at least? From what I can gather, it currently takes two weeks for residents to be tested and ten days for staff to be tested. Is Mr. Daly aware that Animal Health Laboratories in Bandon, west Cork, is turning around Covid-19 tests in a day? If he is not, will he get Nursing Homes Ireland to avail of this incredible service such that testing can be carried out in our own backyard rather than samples being flown to Germany and all over the world?
