Recommendation
The Government must ensure that standards for weekly testing for care home staff are maintained including rapid turnaround times and that regular data is published on the number of tests delivered to social care staff and residents. In addition, the Government should consider extending routine testing beyond care homes to other care settings, particularly domiciliary care and consider including a named key relative in routine testing.
