6 Coronavirus - employee being given the all clear

13 Mar, 2020 13:22

This may be a silly question, we sent an employee home yesterday as they were displaying symptoms similar to those of Coronavirus. They contacted NHS111 and were advised to go to a testing centre.

They have been and thankfully they have been given the all clear.

I assume if they are feeling well enough they can return to work on Monday?

Many thanks in anticipation

I thought I had read that people still had to self isolate after testing negative as they may still have it? Isn't everyone who is being tested being given advice by the NHS after?

Sorry if i am completely wrong, it's hard to keep up!

Apparently Boris's intervention yesterday has added to the confusion.

In reply to Nicola:
So I have been tested and have not got, or have had the virus? - I can't see the logic of then self isolating.

My wife hasn't been tested. She may or may not have the virus as she hasn't been tested, which to my way of thinking means she's a greater risk. So does that mean she should self isolate?

I don't think so.

Keep calm and carry on. :-)
