Staff who have a positive LFT must stay away from work for a minimum of five days. LFTs should be taken on days five and six (24 hours apart) and the staff member can return to work on day six, if both tests are negative and they do not have any symptoms of COVID-19.
Staff who have a positive household contact are not required to isolate, if they remain negative, but must take an LFT for ten consecutive days. Any staff who have virus-like symptoms should do a daily LFT for five days, and only come to work if their LFTs remain negative and they feel well enough.
