Fergus O'Dowd
Question:808. Deputy Fergus O'Dowd asked the Minister for Health if he will investigate the reason and the way in which a nursing home (details supplied) placed two staff members who tested positive for Covid-19 in a local hotel instead of ensuring that they went to the dedicated accommodation provided by the HSE under the healthcare workers temporary accommodation scheme; the action the HSE is taking as a result; the public health follow-up that was carried out to ensure that other hotel residents and workers who may have been exposed to Covid-19 were contacted and tested in relation to the increased risk of contracting Covid-19; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
