COVID-19 workplace guidelines remain in place

The latest guidance from the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has been updated and it confirms that there are no changes to the current guidelines for staff on isolation and testing requirements within Health and Social Care settings due to the higher risk of the nature of our work.

Please continue to report symptoms to your manager and COVID-19 leads or those of any close contacts and follow the EEAST policies and procedures on isolation and testing. The Covid line for guidance, help, support and reporting is 07715 494 158.

We will keep you updated on any developments and urge vigilance with following the guidance as there is still a high prevalence of COVID-19 cases.
