November 20 2020: Gov.uk: Coronavirus (COVID-19): Homecare workers to be tested weekly for COVID-19

Care workers looking after people in their own homes will be offered weekly coronavirus tests from Monday, the government has announced.

  • Registered carers looking after people in their own homes will be able to access weekly coronavirus tests
  • Care providers will be able to book tests for their staff online from Monday (23 November)
  • The roll-out marks the next stage in the government’s expansion of mass testing

Those working for CQC-registered providers will receive weekly PCR tests to administer at home, which will help identify more asymptomatic cases and protect care users who are more vulnerable to the virus.
