'Significant' number of staff and patients infected
Thirteen residents at a Dublin Nursing home have died during a large Covid-19 outbreak.
The HSE has confirmed that eleven of those who died at the Lusk Community Nursing Unit had tested positive for Covid-19.
A number of patients and staff at the home are said to still be infected with the virus and are receiving support.
The HSE says the first round of the Covid-19 Vaccination Programme has been completed within Lusk Community Nursing Unit and all residents and staff who consented and were deemed medically fit were vaccinated on the day.
They did add that there were a number of positive cases on the day the vaccination clinic took place but the clinic was delivered in line with public health guidance.
