Following information that has arisen this week, it is important to remind all employees of the essential information in relation to Covid-19 to prevent infection and keep us all safe.
I cannot stress enough that you must not come to work in any of the following circumstances:
- You have covid-19 symptoms
- A member of your household has Covid-19 symptoms
- You have booked a Covid-19 test
- You are waiting for Covid-19 test results
- You or anyone in your household have a positive Covid-19 test result
In all of these circumstances you must self-isolate for 10 days from the onset of symptoms.Further information on the updated guidance on the changes in self-isolation time is on the Scottish Government website.
It is also important to ensure you follow the Covid-19 risk assessment for your role and your workplace, including the proper use of PPE where this is identified. Please also ensure that you:
- Follow 2m social distancing where possible
- Keep to the maximum capacity of designated areas
- Wear a face covering in communal areas and walking through the workplace
- Follow good hand and respiratory hygiene
We will continue to keep you updated as further information and reminders are issued, in the meantime please continue to follow all guidance and stay safe.
Thank you
