Hi,
Following earlier government announcement to extend testing for coronavirus to more frontline workers, further specific guidance has been issued today that invites personal care assistants (PAs) -both health and social care - to register for coronavirus testing where they are self-isolating due to experiencing coronavirus-like symptoms or because a member of their household has symptoms.
TLAP has been supporting this inclusion of PAs in the national expansion of the testing programme. We are pleased that they have been recognised and acknowledged for the vital service they provide as key workers to people who employ them via their direct payments.
The guidance includes the following practical documents that you can download here:
These and other related documents about testing PAs/key workers are here, along with all relevant COVID-19 docs for the social care sector COVID-19 social care guidance
