Test all NHS frontline staff who have potential symptoms of COVID-19.
The government should immediately implement priority testing for all NHS frontline staff if they have symptoms of COVID-19. Anyone who has come into contact with those who test positive can then be traced to reduce further transmission.
Testing of symptomatic NHS staff is essential in order to protect vulnerable people in need of healthcare and ensure NHS staffing is maximised.
