If just one of these agency workers has the virus, but no symptoms, the amount of people in an enclosed area containing highly vulnerable people that can be infected is quite high . . and widespread considering they may work in 2 or 3 homes in a working week.
Just saying it's not only patients released from hospitals that are a possible (probable) cause.

A reasonable post, and I 100% agree. The social care sector, rightly or wrongly, is funded to cover 99% of eventualities. Global pandemic unfortunately within that 1% left it horribly exposed.
