What can we learn from international experiences of COVID-19 in care homes?

As part of a webinar organized by https://www.corona-older.com/ on Care homes and COVID19 in developing countries, Adelina Comas-Herrera gave a presentation on learning from the international experiences of trying to prevent and manage COVID-19 in care homes so far.

The presentation builds on two LTCcovid international reports: mortality of care home residents and international measures to prevent and manage COVID-19 infections in care homes. Both of reports are based on the detailed country reports on the COVID-19 situation in long-term care prepared by international experts, mostly from the International Long-Term Care Policy Network.
