YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Coronavirus has affected care homes at a worrying pace, but the reality of the epidemic hasn't been revealed until now.

The latest figures suggest a third of all deaths in England and Wales, linked to COVID-19, are in care homes.

Sky News has been told of cases of elderly patients being discharged from hospitals to care homes - before they had been given a test, putting hundreds of people potentially at risk.
