Central infection prevention and control guidance is regularly monitored and updated to strengthen infection control between health and care settings. COVID-19 polymerase chain reaction testing for patients at the time of discharge from hospital to a care home and limiting of close contact where necessary continues. Individual health and care settings are responsible for ensuring this guidance is implemented.
