Probe into how  nursing home handled initial stages of covid  'identified significant concerns'

The investigation found there was evidence social distancing guidance wasn’t always adhered to at the nursing home.

An investigation into how a nursing home handled the initial stages of covid-19 has upheld a number of serious issues raised by a whistleblower, and “identified significant concerns” as to how an initial outbreak was managed.

In a statement, the HSE said it fully accepts that there were a number of issues identified which put residents at further risk of covid infection at the time.
