COVID-19
From 1st April 2022, in line with UKHSA advice, the following updated testing arrangements for NHS staff and staff working in NHS-funded independent healthcare settings in England, will apply:
Patient facing staff should continue to test twice weekly when asymptomatic. LAMP testing (saliva tests) will no longer be available, but LFD tests for patient facing staff will continue to be available through the gov.uk portal.
All symptomatic staff should test using LFDs and continue to follow the current return to work guidance. In a change to testing policy, staff who are household contacts of a positive COVID-19 case will no longer be required to have a PCR test in order to return to work. Symptomatic staff can continue to access LFDs via the gov.uk portal.
Self-isolation for those with COVID-19 can end after 5 full days following 2 negative LFD tests 17-01-2022 see link below
