Coronavirus: Six Covid-19 cases at Lanarkshire care home

Could not strike in a worse place , lets see the outcome ....

G luck to the residents

Oh dear

Can’t imagine that these individuals get out and about very often and now we’re waiting for the government to put ALL over 70’s in lockdown

They need to find out where it came from quickly, rapid response and rest everyone,workers, care workers and doctors and find the source. You say they won't get out much but unsure what you are getting at, they could easily be getting out and about but more than likely it's come from a worker or via a hospital imo but it's just a guess.x the outbreak by 50 at least imo, 200 by tomorrow and so on. Need to test in hospitals and ramp up hygiene, hazmat time looming imo. Desperate times ahead.

*test everyone

God love us,very sad.

Seems none of the precautions make any difference.

I presume homes lie this had a strict policy on visitors, all regular hand wash etc.

Beginning to think i wonder if the virus is partially airbourne and can linger and even travel on the winds, so even with limited contact people can catch it.

Agree with Male what ever will be will be ,Spreading terror among the population will prob do as much damage as the virus ..

It's not about spreading terror it spreading fear for a reason, fear not  adhearing to basic hygiene protocol, its not airborne, its spreading by people not operating strict simple hygiene measures, masks/gloves were hylighted as one of the biggest things that helped China ,if we don't have enough OK, let's make some at home and ask everyone to wear gloves and not touch their  faces, fear death by ignorance , fear killing people by your poor adherence to basic rules. It's simple.

How coronavirus is spread

Because it's a new illness, we do not know exactly how coronavirus spreads from person to person.

Similar viruses are spread in cough droplets.

It's very unlikely it can be spread through things like packages or food.
