9th May 2020

A page being updated from time to time by Scottish Government give the guidance to Care Homes and their staff.

https://www.hps.scot.nhs.uk/web-resources-container/covid-19-information-and-guidance-for-care-home-settings/

The guidance for care homes provides advice about COVID-19 (previously known as novel coronavirus 2019) for those working in residential care home settings.

A control measure tool for the control of incidents and outbreaks in Social or Community Care & Residential Settings, specific for COVID-19, is also available here, and should be used accordingly, following the general advice provided in the guidance.

Further advice for staff - responsibilities to prevent spread of COVID-19, measures to protect them at increased risk of severe illness, and recommendations for vulnerable individuals as well as advice on testing to enable key workers to return to work – has also been summarised in a short document available in this page.​
