Question:
To ask the Minister of Health, pursuant to AQW 5336/17-22, how regularly staff are tested for COVID-19.

Answer:

To date staff working in the fixed Covid-19 testing sites across Northern Ireland as part of the national testing partnership have not been routinely tested. This is in keeping with the protocol in NI to only test symptomatic individuals. Should any staff member develop symptoms they will be advised to self-isolate and to arrange to be tested.
