At the time those responsible were preparing the acute hospitals, they were transferring large numbers of patients from those hospitals to the nursing home sector. These patients were to become residents but they were not tested. Was any protocol given to nursing homes? Were nursing homes instructed that these people had to isolate for 14 days? Did those discharging people check in advance that nursing homes had single room accommodation or were people simply discharged to create space?
