Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Update on Covid-19 in Nursing Homes

Ms Yvonne O'Neill:

Some of the opening statements will have referred to the fact that there is a large number of nursing homes who have not experienced an outbreak and so have been available for admission of patients. Obviously there are guidelines around admission including a requirement for isolation for 14 days on admission. Thus the move to a nursing home is currently difficult for anyone. My colleague, Ms Sandra Tuohy, might give the Deputy a quick note on that point. That would be helpful, especially in terms of how that activity has changed over the last number of months.
