Can anyone enlighten me on the Government guidelines re: going to work with coronavirus when you work in a social care setting?
Thank you

Same as everyone else. Gov.uk says 'try' to avoid others for 5 days, 'try' to avoid vulnerable for 10 days. So unless your company has a specific policy, you choose.

Also no need to test so then you would go back when feel better..... could be 2 days could be 5 doubt it would be 10 days!

Our policy in our care home is if we are positive we are to stay off and test again on day 5. I work with dementia and elderly frail, that’s our policy and I work for bupa.
but we don’t get paid if we are off though at the moment.
