Managing a positive Covid-19 case in the workplace

There is no longer a legal requirement for people with coronavirus (COVID-19) infection to self-isolate, however if you or your employees have any of the main symptoms of COVID-19 or a positive test result, the public health advice is to stay at home and avoid contact with other people.

The main symptoms of COVID-19 remain a recent onset of any of the following:

  • a new continuous cough
  • a high temperature
  • a loss of, or change in, your normal sense of taste or smell (anosmia)

Staff may be concerned that they’ve worked with someone with COVID-19. The employer can reassure them by making clear what measures have been taken to keep the workplace safe.
