New videos and social media assets are also regularly produced for stakeholders to share through their own channels. The assets are available to download here - please disseminate these to your networks and use across your internal and external channels to help share information on Test, Trace, Protect.
Practical resources to help employers keep their workforce safe at work
This tool helps you consider your personal risk factors for COVID-19 and suggests how to stay safe
Are you using the NHS COVID-19 app? The app allows you to report symptoms, order a coronavirus test, and check in to venues by scanning a QR code, all while protecting your anonymity. If you’ve already downloaded the app, please remember to use it – the more people who use the app, the greater our chances of reducing the spread of the virus. The app is an important part of our Test, Trace, Protect programme.
If you’ve been alerted to self-isolate by the #NHSCOVID19app, you can now use the app to apply for a £500 payment through the self-isolation support scheme to help with loss of earnings.
Symptom Study
Help us fight coronavirus by reporting your health daily, even if you feel well.
You can help us fight coronavirus by completing a daily health survey on the COVID-19 symptom study app. This app is for everyone, not just for those who have symptoms.
The app will help us understand the symptoms and spread of COVID-19. By answering some quick questions, you can help us plan our response to coronavirus.
We will not share the answers you give us beyond the NHS and trusted organisations working directly with the NHS in response to coronavirus.
Test, Trace, Protect strategy
A campaign is underway aimed at informing the general public and critical workers of the Welsh Government’s Test, Trace, Protect strategy. The website has been updated with the latest information on the strategy, including guidance for employers (https://gov.wales/test-trace-protect-coronavirus). New video and animated social assets have been produced for use across paid-for campaigns and for stakeholders to share through their own channels. The assets are available to download here and please disseminate these to your networks and use across your social media channels to help share information on Test, Trace, Protect.
