¿ Staff wore personal protective equipment (PPE) and management staff checked they did this in the right way. Staff had training in infection prevention and control measures and PPE.

¿ Social distancing was encouraged, and furniture had been rearranged to promote this.

¿ Regular testing for Covid-19 was in place for people and the staff team.

¿ The home looked clean and housekeeping staff made sure they frequently cleaned key touch points, such as handrails and door handles.
