Guidance on the designated settings scheme for people discharged from hospital to a care home with a positive coronavirus (COVID-19) test.

It sets out:

• advice on setting up designated settings, and information for local authorities and providers
• information on discharge arrangements, and supporting individuals to ensure that their care needs and preferences are accounted for
• additional advice on data collection, funding, visiting, and infection prevention and control (IPC) requirements

Updated today with a note that simplifies and clarifies aspects of the existing national guidance on designated settings that was published in December.
