Boost (Mastodon): Wow. This email from a UK hospital instructs healthcare workers not to test for COVID because it might keep them out of work for longer. What happened to "do no harm"? (Source: Prof. Stephen Griffin) — Dr. Lucky Tran :verified: (@luckytran@med-mastodon.com)

Email:Staff should not be testing for COVID-19
The IPC team have been receiving many reports of staff testing positive for Covid.
• In line with national guidance, staff should NOT be taking LFDs.
• Instead, they should respond to their own symptoms and stay at home if they feel unwell.
• Testing for Covid can result in having to remain at home for longer than their symptoms persist.
Full quidance is in the attached document which can also be accessed on the IPC page on StaffZone here — — Dr. Lucky Tran :verified: (@luckytran@med-mastodon.com)
