Three care home residents die
A police investigation has begun into the deaths of three people with covid at a care home at Sidford, East Devon.
Devon and Cornwall Police are working in partnership with other agencies in what they call a 'safeguarding response'.
A post-mortem examination has taken place on one person, while investigations concerning the other two remain on going.
Police North East and West Devon commander chief superintendent Dan Evans said: “I’ve no doubt there will be concern in the community regarding this incident and we are doing everything possible to help those bereaved families, while also working with partners to communicate to those with relatives remaining within the home.
“This is a complex investigation involving ourselves and multi-agency partners with safeguarding of residents at its core.
“There is significant work underway to understand the current situation and progress the investigation as quickly as possible, while maintaining the safety of care home residents, staff, police officers and partner agency staff.”
