THE latest figures for suspected Covid-19 cases in adult care homes are “incredibly worrying,” Scottish Labour’s health spokesperson has said.
Jackie Baillie quoted statistics, up to January 5, which show there is at least one suspected case of Covid-19 in 251 care homes — representing 24 per cent of all Scottish care homes.
In the week from December 27 to January 2 there were 612 new confirmed Covid‑19 cases among care home residents.
