[QUOTE="JRT, post: 2336653, member: 520947"] Worrying article in Guardian today about CQC inspections in care homes that had covid in building. Inspectors were moving between care homes with covid without being tested. Some inspectors got covid. The reasoning behind situation was that inspectors needed to inspect hygiene procedures in homes. Inspectors trained in infection control and had full access to relevant PPE. They were also socially distanced from staff and residents. This must enrage all those who have been unable to see loved ones in care homes. Of course there are many unknowns. You can only assume procedures were followed to the letter. I assume you cant say for certain infections acquired in care homes rather than their weekly shop etc. That said even pre covid inspectors were a discrete presence,they seem a sensible bunch who wouldnt put themselves or others at risk. If it was the case that they followed procedures fully and did acquire infection in home it highlights the need for rapid tests for visitors. On a personal level it supports my instincts that even with PPE and social distancing my work place was not a good place to be! Still,its a one of article that raises more questions than gives answers, especially with the advisability of Christmas get togethers. [/QUOTE]
