Domicilary care weekly covid tests for carers on site
We want them to change the legislation for care agencies who work in the community so they are able to get access to free covid tests on site to complete weekly tests
Why is this important?
We are on the frontline looking after the most vulnerable in their own homes so we are exposed to a higher risk of contracting covid 19 and spreading it around to service users currently only care homes are able to access weekly testing for there staff and it’s simply not good enough carers in the community are at just as much if not higher risk and should be able to get a test weekly without having to keep booking online to get checked tests need to be rolled out to care agencies to allow them to maintain a safe working environment for service users and carers alike
