You must not enter the building if the following apply:
- you are suffering from symptoms of Covid-19 - isolate and book a PCR test if you are showing symptoms of Covid-19
- you tested positive by LFD (you must now isolate for 5 days and can return after 2 negative tests on days 5 and 6)
- you are a close contact or live with someone who has tested positive and you are not double vaccinated (14 days after 2nd vaccine)
- if you are a double vaccinated close contact you can return to work if necessary but are advised to take one LFD test every day for 7 days
- you have tested positive by PCR for Covid-19
- you have been told to isolate by NHS test and trace
- For a PCR test, you should not retest (unless advised otherwise by the NHS) within 90 days of a positive test as a PCR may still pick up trace remnants of the virus.
- For LFD tests the guidance is as follows:
- If the person tests negative at day 5 and 6, they are then out of their isolation period and assumed to be clear of the infection. They can start their routine LFD testing again straight away. Any new symptoms or any new positive result will be taken as indication of a new infection, and they will need to enter a new isolation period.
- If the person tests positive at either day 5 or 6, they need to continue to isolate till day 10. They should wait until day 14 to re-introduce routine testing. After day 14, any new positive test, or any new symptoms, are most likely to be due to a new infection and they will need to enter a new isolation period.
- Ensure we have a resilient track and trace system in place
- Ensure that welfare and rest facilities are not overloaded
- Assist with ensuring high traffic areas are clean
- Maintain indoor air quality to prevent the potential spread of virus
- Ensure we remain Covid-Secure as per existing government guidance and legislation
