Supporting health and social care providers in Devon

13 August 2021

New self-isolation guidance applies from Monday 16 August

New national guidance has been published on the management of staff and exposed patients and residents in health and social care settings:

The guidance now states that as part of the return to work testing, if a staff member has had a ‘SARS-CoV-2 infection’ in the past 90 days, they should not have a PCR test and should only undertake daily LFD antigen tests. This is a change from previously published guidance.

Please make sure you read and follow the guidance, in particular section 2.5.
