Covid-19 care

"Covid-19 care"

About: Royal Alexandra Hospital / Gastroenterology

(as a relative),

My dad was admitted to hospital with sickness (gastroenteritis) due to his diabetes, he was on the mend and was in a room with 2 confirmed positive coronavirus patients even though he was a high risk patient. About a week later my dad also tested positive for coronavirus.

Five days after he tested positive he was sent home (he lives alone) not knowing if or when he’ll be tested again. When sending him home they asked my sister who stays with my two elderly grandparents and 10 year old sister to take him home! Which would of potentially put her at risk. I am left very upset and disappointed at the care my dad received whilst in this hospital.
