Calling these groups of citizens, people with names, identities, families... calling them clusters. It’s abhorrent. And a purposeful move to categorise them as a statistic rather than an individual. It’s very offensive. The opposite of what SimonHarrisTD purports to be doing.

Thank christ nursing homes didn't listen to the gov't a few weeks ago.

My brother works in a nursing home & lives with my 73 year old cocooned father. You're not helping with your vague headlines. We need more information? HSELive

17 clusters what does that mean? How many people = a cluster Clarify please.

My father is in a nursing home. This is worrying for me.

Cluster is a very vague word to use. I know the government love secrecy but some clarity would be beneficial during this time
