For nursing homes to be more prepared and resilient in the event of a new pandemic, overall planning of nursing homes' needs should take place at both the national and municipal levels, as well as at the management level within each nursing home. This planning must ensure sufficient staffing, access to infection control equipment, and the updating of employees' professional and clinical knowledge.
