LONDON - British Prime Minister Boris Johnson faced a growing storm on Tuesday after saying some care homes didn't follow procedures to stem the spread of Covid-19 deaths, sparking an accusation that he was trying to rewrite history.
While the government has been heavily criticised by opposition politicians and some medics over the slow delivery of protective clothing and testing in care homes, Mr Johnson appeared to suggest blame for the outbreaks lay with the care homes themselves. Mr Mark Adams, Chief Executive of charity Community Integrated Care, said he was"unbelievably disappointed" by Mr Johnson's comments, slamming them as clumsy and cowardly, adding they represented a dystopian rewriting of history.
To free up hospital beds, many patients were discharged into homes for the elderly and vulnerable, many without being tested for the coronavirus.
