COVID/WINTER ‘FLU MEASURES NOW IN FORCE AT ALL SITES
A significant rise in respiratory illnesses in the community, along with clusters of staff contracting COVID is impacting both individuals and Trust function in some of our teams, especially Make Ready and Emergency Operations Centres.
There have been 289 positive COVID cases in EEAST in December so far.
It is difficult to differentiate between COVID and Flu symptoms as they can be very similar, so please continue to LFT test, especially if you are symptomatic.
For this reason, with immediate effect, the following instructions are required to be implemented on all Trust sites.
Mask wearing
Distancing
Food sharing
These are obligatory working instructions to be followed by all trust staff.
Thank you to all the staff who have embraced this new instruction to keep us all safe.
These instructions be reviewed again in the week commencing 16th January 2023.
