Louise Hough, who co-ran Gwastad Hall nursing home in Cefn-y-Bedd, Flintshire, said they had no testing, oxygen or PPE.
Mrs Hough's husband, Vernon, killed himself on 21 May 2020.
The Welsh government said it would act on the UK-wide inquiry's findings.
"The World Health Organization stressed that we tested, tested, tested. There was no testing in the nursing home at all at that time," said Mrs Hough.
She said the couple resorted to sending staff as far as Manchester Airport to get drive-through tests.
'No help coming from anywhere'
On 28 April 2020, the UK government announced Covid testing would be extended to all staff and residents in England, even for those who did not have symptoms.
That was not the case in Wales, with First Minister Mark Drakeford saying he saw "no value" in providing tests to everybody in care homes at the time.
"That was a pivotal moment for me and Vernon," said Mrs Hough, part of the Covid Bereaved Families for Justice group.
"We were watching it on the television... we just stopped speaking, Vernon and I, and we just thought, 'where do we go from there?'
'We need answers'
Twelve Gwastad Hall residents died in those first few months of the pandemic, but Mrs Hough said she was still unsure of how many died because of Covid.
She said she believed her husband's distress at seeing the patients struggling led directly to his death.
"Vernon is a victim of Covid, he never actually caught it that we know of, but being around it and nursing patients with Covid... there was nothing else that could make him so unhappy."
Mrs Hough said she wanted the Welsh government held to account and "wants answers".
