Robert Kilgour says their COVID-19 tests show many staff and residents have tested positive without displaying symptoms.
A Scottish government spokesperson said:"We are undertaking advanced outbreak investigation at care homes reporting cases of COVID-19."We are also testing in linked institutions where care homes are part of a chain and staff move between locations."Our priority is to test for clinical reasons, for example those in hospitals or care homes, followed by key workers in our health and care system.
The Scottish Conservatives have labelled it an"abject failure" and both Scottish Labour and the Scottish Greens have called for every care home worker to be guaranteed a COVID-19. New figures from the National Records of Scotland have shown again that more than half of deaths in Scotland occurred in care homes in the week 27 April to 3 May.The total number of COVID-19 deaths in Scotland is 3,213.
