Wales to roll out routine testing for social care workers

The Welsh Government have announced that routine testing of health and social care staff will be launched in Wales using twice weekly lateral flow tests that produce rapid results.

While the programme will begin to be rolled out from 14 December, staff in 'lower risk' settings (which may include homecare, this is not yet clear) may not have access to testing until January.

We will provide further information when this is available.
