Article Synopsis
- Nursing home residents in France accounted for half of COVID-19 deaths in the 2020 spring wave, prompting a study to identify factors linked to outbreaks in nursing homes (NHs).
- A July 2020 questionnaire study involving 231 NHs revealed that factors like in-room meal service and early family visit bans were associated with a lower risk of COVID-19 cases, despite strict measures like resident confinement.
- The study concluded that while strict lockdowns might help prevent outbreaks, they raise ethical concerns regarding residents' wellbeing, suggesting that communal dining cessation is the most effective preventive measure.
