The care home I live in has 4 Covid positive residents and 1 staff. I have had 3 Covid tests this year. None of them responded in 2 days, or even 3. The last one was 3 days 11 hours. It can rip through a care home in that time.

.@MattHancock faithfully promised that by June, care home residents & staff would be tested weekly. Yet 4 months on, a mere 10% of test results come back within 48 hours. Britain’s most vulnerable citizens - utterly abandoned 😔 theguardian.com/world/2020/oct… theguardian.com/world/2020/oct…

“Nearly nine out of 10 Covid-19 tests taken under the system used by care homes in England were returned after the government’s 48-hour target in September, official figures reveal.”

Unbelievable. In any employer this would be gross misconduct of the highest order Care homes in England fear new Covid-19 cases as 90% of test results delayed

Care homes in England fear new Covid-19 cases as 90% of test results delayed - theguardian.com/world/2020/oct… staggering incompetence; why aren't people resigning over this?
