On Monday 16 August, the Public Health England isolation guidance for people who come into contact with positive COVID cases is changing, but please note the same processes will remain in place at EEAST for the time being and will be reviewed next week.
Please continue to contact your Covid lead and local manager if you are a close contact of a positive COVID-19 case and they will advise accordingly. You must not come to work if you are a contact of a positive COVID case until you have completed the isolation exemption referral process and been approved.
Covid working safely guidelines also remain in place as EEAST had 155 positive cases in July and 67 so far for August. Therefore please:
This list is not exhaustive, but all current COVID measures must continue to be adhered to.
Further communication will be issued once the Ambulance regulatory bodies have reviewed documentation and amendments to process are agreed.
