If you have symptoms of a respiratory infection, such as COVID-19, and you have a high temperature or do not feel well enough to go to work or carry out normal activities, you should avoid contact with vulnerable people and stay at home if possible.
For those of us who absolutely can’t stay at home, the Living with COVID guidance remains unchanged, and will reduce the chance of passing on your infection to others.
Wear a well-fitting face covering made with multiple layers or a surgical face mask.
Avoid crowded places such as public transport, large social gatherings, or anywhere that is enclosed or poorly ventilated.
Take any exercise outdoors in places where you will not have close contact with other people.
Cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze; wash your hands frequently with soap and water for 20 seconds or use hand sanitiser after coughing, sneezing and blowing your nose and before you eat or handle food; avoid touching your face.

If a staff member tests positive for COVID-19 they should stay away from work for a minimum of 5 days after they took the test. After 5 days they can return to the workplace if they do not have a high temperature and/or feel well enough to work. If a staff member continues to show symptoms of a respiratory infection on their return to work, a risk assessment should be completed. People should let their home care provider know so they can take appropriate precautions.
