Three nuns have been placed under
investigation over nine COVID-19 deaths at a care home near
Turin, judicial sources said Monday.
The three women are accused of culpable epidemic and culpable
manslaughter in the deaths at the San Giuseppe Home at
Grugliasco.
The three are the legal representative of the home, its
director, and the health director.
As well as the nine COVID deaths, the probe is also looking into
some 40 cases among residents and health operators at the home.
Police said the home's risk assessment report was not properly
up to date.
They also said personal protective equipment including facemasks
were lacking in the facility.
