[ad_1]

A note issued by a major public nursing home that has had 11 Covid-19-related deaths referred to those who had the infection as the “dirtiest patients.”

The name of leading medical expert Martin Cormican was associated with the memo seen by Independent.ie, but he did not write it down and called it “offensive”.

The memo, issued at St. Mary’s Hospital in Phoenix Park, which advised staff on the proper use of protective clothing and equipment, said they should start with “the cleanest and most symptom-free patients.”
