Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Covid-19: Final Report of Nursing Homes Expert Panel (Resumed)

Dr. Siobhán Kennelly:

To emphasise what Dr. MacLellan said, testing guidance has been in place for quite some time. We know not just testing but also specific protocols around the isolation of people after they transfer from acute hospitals to residential care for a period of two weeks are now accepted as standard practice across the board. That is being implemented across private and public facilities.
