Protect people in care homes during the coronavirus pandemic

As lockdown began, thousands of patients were sent from hospitals into care homes. In three months 18,562 people living in Care Homes died with COVID-19.

With cases at the highest they've ever been in the UK, the government must learn lessons from its disastrous decisions and not repeat the same mistakes.

Tell the Health Secretary to protect people living in Care Homes and ensure this doesn’t happen again.
