Let COVID-19 test available for care assistants in care homes and residents
Care staff and residents urgently needs to be tested to know who the carrier is, the residents are in their homes obviously someone is infecting them with the virus this can be avoided if we discover who is already infected and passing it across, a lot of people will die if they don't get tested
To save the lives of the residents and the care workers before it get to a stage whereby they will be afraid to go to work and start abandoning the vulnerable people they are caring for but if test is made available for them it will make them feel valued and be happy to do their best.
