UK care home hit by coronavirus #COVID19 #coronavirus #UK #Northamptonshire #CareHome #quarantine #pandemic

A member of staff at a care home in Northamptonshire for people with learning disabilities and those with physical disabilities and mobility issues has tested positive for Covid-19, the Northamptonshire Telegraph reports.

There have been fears about the impact the virus could have should it take hold in a care home in the UK, particularly one where there are older people and/or those with underlying health conditions which make them more susceptible to Covid-19.

In the US, 19 deaths out of a nationwide total of 31 to date were linked to one suburban Seattle nursing home.
