The pilot began on 26 October 2020 and is expected to last four weeks.

We are working with the pilot sites to gather learning and establish the most effective way of testing professionals who move in and out of care homes.

We will continue to review our social care testing strategy for adult social care in light of the latest evidence and testing capacity.
