What the petition asks
NHS patients with Covid19 are currently being discharged into care homes to free up NHS beds.This puts Residents & Staff in these care homes at risk. Currently the advice to vulnerable people is self isolate. We ask government to stop this practice in order that care home residents can be shielded
Stop vulnerable people being put at risk, provide all social care staff with full PPE to give them the best protection available. No one with suspected Covid19 should be admitted to a care home under any circumstances.
