During my weekly call from the care home today the subject off staff being tested for Covid came up. I was shocked when the member staff said I’ve decided I’m not going to take the test as I would be gagging, it’s not a nice experience and I’ve no symptoms. She goes home every night to her husband and family who all work in different industries so are daily coming into contact with lots of other people who in turn may have family members who have been infected. It is a council run home so I have e mailed someone who is above the manager of the home to find out why it isn’t compulsory.
I don’t know what other people’s views are on this stance, but, I would have thought when they looking after frail, vulnerable, elderly people who susceptible to infections that it would be prudent to have all staff tested.
