Care home to finally get Covid-19 tests after year of lobbying
| Updated: 15:34, 02 February 2021
Following almost a year of lobbying, a Diss care home will finally be able to offer regular coronavirus tests to its residents â for the first time since the pandemic began.
This week, Weaverâs Court will roll-out a coronavirus testing regime, just days after figures revealed that Norfolkâs weekly Covid deaths in care homes were amongst the worst in the country.
Until now, Weaverâs Court has not been able to offer regular testing as it is classed as a housing with care scheme (HWC), meaning that residents are offered a greater degree of freedom than they typically would be at a nursing or traditional care home.
