Covid-19
Please see a summary of the latest Government guidance on Covid Testing:
• From Tuesday 14 December, daily testing for contacts of Covid-19 (DTCC) is being introduced for close contacts who are fully vaccinated or under 18. This will replace all previous guidance on isolation rules for contacts, regardless of whether they are linked to a suspected or confirmed Omicron case.
• Contacts participating in daily testing for contacts of Covid-19 are asked to take a LFT test for 7 consecutive days (or up until the end of the 10-day self-isolation period, if sooner).
• Contacts should use any unused stocks of LFDs that they have at home. Further supplies can be obtained from pharmacies, community testing sites, and through gov.uk LFD reporting system or by calling 119.
• Contacts should self-isolate immediately if any of their LFD tests gives a positive result, or if they develop symptoms, and order a confirmatory PCR test.
• There are no changes to the rules for close contacts who are not fully vaccinated or exempt. They must isolate for 10 days from the contact with the positive case.
• Anyone under 5 years is exempt from self-isolation and they do not need to take part in Daily Contact Testing
