Many HR Departments are now tasked with working out who needs to self-isolate and for how long etc.

The Health and Safety Executive has now produced Guidance for employers that explains the importance of supporting employees that are required to self-isolate.

The Guide contains sections covering:

• Self-isolation when an employee develops symptoms
• Ending self-isolation
• Workplace actions following an employee testing positive for Covid-19
• Repeat testing prior to return to work (NB: it is not required)
• Contact tracing for employees with a positive test including close contacts in the workplace
• Other instances when employees will need to self-isolate
• Summary
