Coronavirus outbreak sees 10 residents die at Scots care home from suspected or confirmed Covid-19

Ten residents at a Scots care home have died from suspected or confirmed cases of coronavirus.

Bosses at Mugdock House in Bearsden, Dunbartonshire confirmed the deaths and said their "thoughts and sympathies" are with all the families of those who have lost a loved one to Covid-19.

They added that teams were in place at the 64-bedroom facility, which specialises in care for dementia patients and those with Parkinson's Disease, to support relatives during "this difficult time".

A spokesperson for the care home, which is run by HC One, said they are proud to have risen to the challenge of coronavirus.

"Caring for our residents and supporting our colleagues is at the heart of what we do, and we are doing everything we can to make sure our residents and colleagues stay safe and well throughout these challenging times.

"We have a comprehensive contingency plan in place, which was created by our Clinical Director and reflects the latest government guidance.

"We are working closely with our local health and care partners, and we are continuing to take action to secure medical equipment, PPE, and supplies we need to protect residents and colleagues alike.

"We are proud of our colleagues and how they have risen to the challenge of the coronavirus outbreak by showing huge dedication and commitment to our residents.
