> Staff on shift get tested or even stay isolated for two weeks, then enter the unit, spend a month on-site and leave for home.
So we have four weeks of quarantine for every month worked. That means we would need double the staff, and also we would have to pay them way more to even find someone willing/able [1] to accept this shift arrangement. This means that a huge part of the inhabitants will be priced out of the nursing home market and forced to stay at home with inadequate care.
[1] Re "able to accept this", for instance, single mothers would not be able to work under these conditions at all.
