Test all Care Home Residents and Staff for Covid 19

Testing for all care home residents and staff must be implemented across Northern Ireland immediately.

Why is this important?

In Northern Ireland, more deaths are occurring due to Covid19 in care homes than in hospitals. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-52529270

In Ireland, all care home workers and residents are being tested for Covid19. Yet here in Northern Ireland, residents and staff are only tested for coronavirus in care homes where there is a suspected outbreak.
