A woman who took a High Court action aimed at having her elderly mother moved out of a nursing home because of concerns about Covid-19 has dropped the action because her mother has now tested positive for the virus.
The daughter made an application to court last Monday during which the court heard she was concerned that her mother's room was on a corridor with other rooms occupied by Covid-19 patients.
She was also concerned that the same healthcare staff were moving between rooms. When the case returned to court today, Mr Justice Richard Humphreys was told the woman's test for Covid-19 was positive but that she was doing reasonably well.
