The Mirror’s Dan Bloom asks whether deaths in care homes may have been avoided if more rigorous testing and screening had been carried out and residents who were discharged from hospital had been routinely tested before 16 April.
Mr Raab says the government will learn lessons from this unique and unprecedented public health crisis, including for care homes.
He says the objective has been to monitor and manage the “ebb and flow” of the transmission of the virus in care homes.
Prof Doyle says it is an interesting question. She suggests a high mortality rate in care homes was to be expected given that over-75s were particularly vulnerable to high doses of the virus.
However, she says a future review of the handling of the crisis will look at the “structure of care homes”.
