Abstract

BackgroundThe population of adult residential care homes has been shown to have high morbidity and mortality in relation to COVID-19.MethodsWe examined 3115 hospital discharges to a national cohort of 1068 adult care homes and subsequent outbreaks of COVID-19 occurring between 22 February and 27 Jun...
