A Covid report has found that the claim made by Matt Hancock regarding a protective ring around care homes was unfounded, according to Ipswich Star.

The Evesham Journal also reported on the findings of the Covid report, confirming that the protective ring claim lacks evidence.

Both outlets highlight that the report challenges the accuracy of the protective measures described by Hancock during the pandemic.

The findings suggest a need to reassess the narrative around care home protections implemented during the Covid crisis.
