Same error as in Italy. 44% of the current deaths are from nursing care homes.

Did they knowingly sent infected people to nursing homes in Italy?

Yes, sadly so, to keep free room in hospitals, with the promise they'd be kept completely separate from other patients.

You can guess what happened next.

Thanks, I was not aware. I found a reference where someone says that at least in those wards they complied with safety measures and the infection was anyway spread already. But this is definitely not a good idea! https://www.politico.eu/article/the-silent-coronavirus-covid...
