Test and Protect Information translated
Test and Protect information
Test and Protect is a public health measure designed to interrupt the spread of coronavirus in the community.
The Test and Protect approach aims to:
- identify people who have the virus
- trace those who have been in close contact with an infected person for a long enough period of time to be at risk of infection
- support these close contacts to self-isolate, so that if they have the virus they are less likely to transmit it to others
Further information about Test and Protect is available from NHS Inform.
Please also find on the links to Test and Protect information translated into a range of community languages.
