Coronavirus: Daughter's anger as father dies after COVID-19 patient entered UK care home

The daughter of a man who died with suspected coronavirus wants to know who signed off on a government policy to allow untested COVID-19 patients to be sent to care homes, potentially spreading the virus.

Cathy Gardner fears the policy could have been a factor in the death of her 88-year-old father Michael Gibson, who passed away in a care home in Oxfordshire on April 3.

She said: "I think the government guidance that hospitals implemented to discharge people as rapidly as possible into care homes full of vulnerable people was incredibly irresponsible... I think it was an unbelievable act and they need to be held to account for that."

Sky News put Dr Gardner's concerns to the Department for Health and Social Care, and are waiting to hear back from the government.
