My last question is on Ms Hegarty's statement where she said concerning the number of deaths that people "were infected in fewer than 0.03% of all buildings", which equated to 667 buildings. As we know, half of the deaths that took place in the South of Ireland were in nursing homes. How much of a factor was the lack of ventilation in residential nursing settings? How can we remedy the situation in the future?
