Care home worker told to stay at work despite positive
Covid test
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) discovered the incident at the Leylands Residential
Care Home in Wolverhampton. Inspectors learned another staff member was
encouraged to return to work after being in contact with a person who had tested
positive for the virus.
Care home owner Bal Bisla said the CQC report was "very unfair" and that there
had been no hospital admissions or deaths in relation to the incidents.
It emerged last year that between the pandemic's outbreak and July 2020, almost
30,000 more care home residents in England and Wales died than in the same period
in 2019, with two-thirds of those deaths directly attributable to the virus.
