Test, Trace and Isolate — workplace guidance
[ch 5: page 27]Guidance from NHS Test and Trace for employers advises they must:
• request that workers self-isolate if they have been asked to do so; and
• support their workers when in isolation.
They must not ask workers to attend the workplace. And if people cannot work from home, they must ensure any self-isolating employee is receiving sick pay, if they are eligible, and give them the option to use their paid leave days if they prefer (see pages 29-30).
If there is more than one case of COVID-19 in a workplace, employers should contact their local health protection team to report the suspected outbreak.
