COVID-19 is still around. It’s a good idea to keep doing simple things to protect our families and communities. You can check common sense precautions here.
Government announced a change, effective 3rd April 2023.
The risk of harm significantly reduced. Testing has been changed accordingly.
Testing is targeted to those who are eligible for treatment if they get Covid – in short those with compromised immunity. Check your eligibility here. You can apply for free rapid flow test kits online if you are eligible for treatment. You are asked to report your results if tests are supplied. If you are not eligible for treatment, you are not required to test. This applies to carers as well.
At Seniors Helping Seniors we are proud of the S.A.F.E. care award achieved during the height of the crisis, and we do all we can to protect our carers and vulnerable clients. Whilst we understand being told the risk of harm is low, our carers will take time off work if they know they have anything infectious, including COVID. If clients contract anything infectious, including COVID we give our carers the choice to attend, we ensure those with maximum immunity attend and PPE will be worn.
