Coronavirus (Covid-19) Testing in Care Homes Policy

Policy Statement

This policy describes the arrangements made by this care home for the testing of staff and service users for Covid-19 as part of its infection prevention and control measures against the virus.

The policy should be read in combination with the Coronavirus (Covid-19) Management for Care Homes Policy, which sets out the general approach to the management of outbreaks of Covid-19.

The care home recognises the crucial part that testing plays in measures to protect both residents and staff from infection and to prevent outbreaks of Covid-19.
