Question 27785 — dependency

Summary

Mr. Jean-François Parigi questions the Minister of Solidarity and Health about the covid-19 virus and its consequences in nursing homes (accommodation establishments for dependent elderly people). We know that the elderly are particularly fragile and affected by covid-19. According to the president of the French Hospital Federation, between 100 and 150 nursing homes in Île-de-France alone are already affected by the epidemic. To date, tests of Coronavirus screening has unfortunately not been generalized to the entire French population and even less so in nursing homes. Therefore, the figures on the spread of covid-19 do not reflect reality. In fact, without a precise assessment it is difficult to take effective measures to fight against this health scourge, hence an extremely dangerous situation for the residents of nursing homes but also the professionals who Consequently, they can be vectors of transmission of the virus outside establishments. It is therefore imperative to know the number of people infected and deceased in nursing homes due to the coronavirus. The situation in nursing homes deserves total transparency on the part of the Government so as not to suggest that elderly people are sacrificed, abandoned and nursing home staff abandoned by the public authorities. Likewise, elderly people at home must receive special attention from health authorities. Therefore, he asks the Government to generalize covid-19 screening tests in nursing homes and, as far as possible, to the entire French population. He also wants to know the figures for people infected and dead from covid-19 in the 3,800 nursing homes public: residents and healthcare staff.
