He also said the Government's approach so far had meant that almost two thirds of care homes have not recorded any cases of coronavirus. Speaking at the daily Downing Street press conference, Mr Hancock said: 'We have put extra infection control procedures in place and prioritised testing in care homes. He also confirmed that a £600 million Infection Control Fund has been introduced to tackle the spread of coronavirus in care homes. It will be used by care homes to help cover the costs of implementing measures to reduce the transmission of coronavirus. Ministers have been repeatedly grilled in recent weeks over the action they have taken to shield care homes from the disease.
