Ayr care home battles outbreak of coronavirus just months after flu deaths shut its doors

In Ayrshire, a care home which suffered a deadly outbreak of flu just months ago has been hit by the coronavirus. Two positive cases of the bug have been confirmed at Ayr's Glenfairn Care Home. And at least 12 residents have been placed in isolation after showing symptoms of the disease. The home on Racecourse Road was temporarily closed to new admissions in September when a number of residents died following respiratory problems. Now it is at the centre of a new scare with large parts of the privately owned facility, which houses up to 75 residents, on lockdown.
