Special report: The killer in our care homes

by

A special report by the UK’s Sky News, into why so many thousands of people have perished in British care homes in 2020.

Coronavirus has taken care homes by storm, killing thousands within weeks. The NHS was bolstered in order to keep it afloat. Were care homes left to fend for themselves? Was equipment diverted? Were the elderly of the country sacrificed to make the strain on our health service lighter?

Sky News’ Nick Martin investigates how care homes are dealing with the coronavirus crisis. We follow carers in the months leading up to the crisis. What were the steps taken to protect the vulnerable and does the government owe an apology to all those who have lost loved ones in care homes?
