As La Dépêche du Midi revealed , a 53-year-old nurse and a 38-year-old nurse were laid off at La Cépière residence after these events on the weekend of March 21 and 22.
"We can only regret that at this stage the employees have given a public character to facts dating from the month of March which are currently under investigation, at the risk of destabilizing all the nursing staff", indicates T we on the side of this Ehpad, requested this Wednesday by 20 Minutes .
The establishment, owned by the DomusVi group, adds that the health instructions concerning the masks a month ago were not the same as today and indicates "to date" that there are no Covid-19 patients in the residence . “Without going into the substance, we dispute the version of the facts stated. "
