This means the advice was still that infection in care homes was "very unlikely" for eight days while coronavirus was being spread in the community.

There were also 798 cases and 10 deaths before new guidance was issued.
Here is that revelation from Whitty on March 5

Her predecessor Sajid Javid ordered the review in July 2018 but Patel has been met with “obfuscation” from Home Office officials when asking what’s happening with it.
“She’s not best pleased,” a source said.
Ex-senior prosecutor @nazirafzal says the lack of proper research into the disproportionate number of mainly Pakistani-heritage men involved in grooming is “exploited by the far-right”
