How to work safely in domiciliary care in England

A resource for those working in domiciliary care providing information on the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) can be found here:

Testing:

Apply for coronavirus testing kits to test the residents and staff of your care home.

You can apply whether or not any of your residents or staff have coronavirus symptoms.

If you think your care home has a coronavirus outbreak but no one has been tested yet, contact your local health protection team. They will carry out the first tests.
