Nursing home deaths hearing

A Paris court is holding a hearing in a classaction effort to hold French health authorities and companies accountable after thousands with the virus died in nursing homes, and families were locked out and left in the dark about what was happening to their isolated loved ones. Wednesday’s hearing was the first step in a likely yearslong legal marathon. Families hope it will shine a light on what went wrong last year as the virus devastated France’s oldest generation and deprived their children and grandchildren of a chance to help or even say goodbye.
