The problem of nursing homes

Laura Kuenssberg of the BBC asked Mr. Hancock if he could say that he did protect the nursing home-in the Prime Minister’s former adviser Dominic Cummings published yesterday After the comment.

He replied: “We do our best to protect people living in nursing homes. Of course, people living in nursing homes are most susceptible to this disease.

“When people leave the hospital to go to nursing homes for testing, we are committed to building testing capabilities to make this happen

“Of course, it takes time to build testing capabilities. In fact, for one of the key things we did, we set a goal of 100,000 at the time.

“This is very effective, and then we can introduce a policy to test everyone before entering the nursing home, but only after we have the testing capabilities that I have to build, we can do this because we are not testing the country here From the beginning.

“We started from less than 2,000 in March last year to 100,000 per day. We listed all of these in public documents at that time. This is a matter of public records.”
