According to reports today (November 20), an outbreak of Covid-19 at a care home in Llangollen has claimed the lives of 15 residents in three weeks, and 15 deaths in three weeks with some 56 cases among residents and 33 staff testing positive.
Andrew RT Davies MS, the Shadow Minister for Health, reacted, saying:
“This is horrendous, and my sympathies and condolences go to the families who have tragically lost a loved one in this Llangollen care home.
“This raises serious questions over testing and infection control in one of the most vulnerable settings in society, and at this stage of the pandemic given the knowledge we have acquired on transmission, is deeply concerning.
“Labour’s health minister must initiate an urgent investigation into such outbreaks and direct testing and financial resources at protecting the most vulnerable in society.”
