The lowest incidence is in Leitrim, Westmeath, Wexford and Kerry. Nursing Homes Ireland has welcomed the publication of revised public health guidance for visits allowing for one per week to a resident by one person. “It remains an incredibly difficult time for residents in our nursing homes and their loved ones and nursing homes and their staff are cognisant of this. Nursing homes are making great efforts in particular this Christmas to make it a very happy and special one for nursing home residents,” Mr Daly added.
